As sad as I am to let this series go for a second time, I’m so glad everyone got their HEA 🥹🫶 The Lunar Chronicles is one of the first main series I read back in middle school when I started getting into more fantasy and world-building chapter books so the nostalgia I feel rereading it as a 20-year old is palpable.

I really enjoyed this series. It’s a fun retelling, and it seemed like a good political and somewhat action packed young adult series series.

The thrilling end!
!Spoilers ahead!

Sometimes I forget that these are YA and that often means pining teenagers, and boy is there a lot. It gets very annoying especially when it's the possessive teen romance tropes. I really don't like the whole Wolf growling just because Scarlet is talking to someone else 🙄 or Cress being mad at Thorne when he kissed someone when she knew he was really manipulated and assaulted.

I really didn't like Winter using her gift the way she did. I get it, but I didn't like it, and think that there was probably a better way to deal with that situation.

I'm also surprised how little the whole lunar gift was talked-about for how it was dealt with on a day to day regular basis. Like how does a society that has those kind of abilities really function?
Speaking of, I'm surprised that the whole Winter never using her gift and that convincing a whole bunch of people to join them never came up again considering Cinder had killed a bunch of people by then and also threatened to punish some that didn't obey her...
Also wasn't super comfortable with some of the description and reactions to Levanas burn scars and some of the plot around that.

Anyways. I'm glad it got a neat ribbon for all the characters, but that also feels less realistic. I'm all for happy endings, but the bitter sweet ones always feel more fulfilling to me.

I have loved these saga since the very beginning and this was a very, very well done conclusion. If you have not read this, please, do it. It is tremendous.
