The series reread has now come to an end, and on such a good note. I still loved and enjoyed every moment of this book.

I will admit it feels slow in the beginning especially with how the last book ended, but it better sets up and introduces us to Winter and makes her a main player in the story now. By a third into the book everything very much starts to pick up again and the story starts to hit the ground running.

I loved how the story line would mix and change POVs weaving people's stories together before once more diverging again. It really kept the pace fast and intrigue and urgency high, and it all came to an orchestrated ending for the book and series. Everything was tied up and concluded nicely but left  moments open that could be looked into with the novellas.

This conclusion to the Lunar Chronicles is the most epic installment of the series, the most adventure-packed…and also my least favorite. I enjoyed Winter the character more than Winter the book! I just got lost in all the political machinations—even though I appreciate how much work Marissa Meyer put into staging a realistic uprising— I just really felt how long this one is. I really enjoyed the ending however!

With this fourth book, the conclusion of the Lunar Chronicles has been reached, and what a finale it is.

Marissa Meyer brings all the various strands of her multiple POVs together, and beautifully so.

What I possibly love the most in this series are the four female main characters. Each one is so different, and yet, they accept each other in their differences & their handicaps and work together for what you could call within the story, the greater good.

The book is not a light read however, so it is worthwhile to check on content warnings, there are quite a few.
