Even though this was a monster of a book it was an easy read. The words flowed and the story just wove itself. I loved everything about it, especially the way the characters still continued to evolve
This is it.... The epic finale of the Lunar Chronicles... and it was absolutely everything I hoped it would be and so much more. This review contains some spoilers but I will clearly mark sections that contain spoilers. Just look for the ******** Warning**********
One thing I have loved about Meyer is she creates characters you absolutely love. They aren't perfect by any means and you really bond with them. Their joys are your joys. Their pain is your pain. Winter is no exception. You feel for her and her sickness, but you also see why everyone loves her, and it's not just for her beauty. Being the last book in the series, the book focuses a lot on Cinder and the others as they work to overthrow Levana, so we don't see a lot of Winter (or at least not as much as I expected), but I definitely didn't hate it! I loved reading about every characters and never once thought "Oh my god, go back to __________'s story!" After everything, I can confidently say Cress/Thorne is my favorite couple ;) No matter who's your favorite pairing, you will rally enjoy watching all the relationships grow toward their happily ever after :')
The story itself is absolutely amazing! Everything is wrapped up with no loose ends (though I am still finding myself hoping and praying for another book that acts like an epilogue for everyone so we know what happened to them a few years down the road).
********WARNING! This paragraph contains Spoilers! Read at your own risk! ***************
Meyer also has an amazing way of relating back to the original stories. For example, we see more of the end of Cinder's story, and Meyer connects back to the fact that Cinderella had really small feet (see if you can see the relation ;) I love looking for the connections). I really enjoyed the "finding the person who fit the foot", as opposed to the slipper. Really cute and funny! Also, for Winter, a lot of people have been guessing at the connecting points, with many saying that Cinder and the gang were Winter's 7 dwarves. I never saw that until I read some reviews after I finished reading. I thought the 7 alpha/squads that Winter recruits were more on point to the 7 dwarves.
I also really liked that no one got married!!! Now, I wouldn't have minded if there was a wedding or two (or 4), but I liked the whole "Let's just live happily ever after" thing. As we saw with Kai, marriage doesn't always mean happiness, and I really liked that they all weren't rushing to get married. Makes it more relatable to me :)
******** END OF SPOILERS *******************************************************
Overall, a truly amazing finish to an amazing series! It has entered the ranks of one of the only books that has made me cry when I finished just for the sole fact that the series was over and I wasn't ready to let it go!! This is easily a series I would love to read over and over again! A truly well deserved 5 stars and I can't wait to read more from Meyer :) (Including her collection of spin-off stories for the Lunar Chronicles, Stars Above, coming February 2!!!)

I just don't have any of the right words for this book. It was amazing and wonderful and just so many things! I really loved this book and the rest that came before it. I just really love this serious and I have no words.
Winter is one of my favorite books in the Lunar Chronicles. The way she fights for what she believes in and how she gets be apart of such an amazing group is lots of fun to read.
Winter was not my favorite character out of the books but I still loved this one! I was constantly wanting more and it was very hard to put the book down. I would recommend this series to anyone that is a fan of fairy tales and sci fi. One of my favorite series!
Meh.
That’s really all I have to say.
This book is very, very long (it has tissue-paper pages! That’s how you know a YA book is too damn long). It introduces more characters I don’t care about, allowing me to realize that I really only care about Cress and Thorne. It spends a hundred thousand million years wrapping up every loose end, and still the plotline and conclusion manage to feel unsatisfying.
I really don’t have much to say beyond that.
The fact that this book is 827 pages long and I can’t even summon up two paragraphs about it says it all.
So let’s call that my bottom line and call it a day.
-----------

Pues me ha gustado y bastante.
Con Winter se cierra la saga de las crónicas lunares y debo decir que me gustó la manera en la que se trabajó el final.
Todos los personajes bien trabajados y la manera en que la historia transcurre con altibajos para los protagonistas y triunfos a medias me fueron preparando para el plato final. El cierre me gustó bastante, creo que es de cierta forma lo esperado pero Marissa lo va dejando fluir y uno se va imaginando como será el futuro para cada uno de los protagonistas.
Me ha gustado y sin duda sería una saga que recomendaría, es entretenida, fresca y divertida.
