The culmination of the series is so well-done with this book. It brings all of the characters together, shows us how evil is vanquished, and gives us hope for the future. However, there's a little bit of an opening ending, which I really like. Not everything is wrapped up in a nice, neat little bow. There's just enough to question what could come next for the characters. Maybe I'm bizarre for liking that - especially after four long books, but I really enjoy visualizing what could happen for all of these awesome characters we've come to appreciate and understand in a new way.
At a certain point, you might forget that you're reading fairytale retellings. I know that I did. In fact, it wasn't til Winter mentioned (for probably the eightieth time) that she was "a girl of snow and ice" that I thought, oh yeah, this is based on Snow White. Insert laughter here! They're just so well-written that I didn't even think about how similar they were to already-familiar stories. I loved every second of it.
Now that I own the box set, I'm really excited to read the two novellas that come with it. I remember picking through Fairest in the past, but I can't seem to conjure what it was about (aside from knowing that it has to do with Levana) and I never read Stars Above. I can't wait to dive in and enjoy even more of this world.
