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.

So good! I loved this one. The world building isn’t the strongest part, but plot, characters, romance and witty dialogue makes up for all other faults.
