4.5

The conclusive book to the Lunar chronicles (apart from the short stories), this is the final struggle to reclaim freedom for humanity.  And this book goes off with a bang!  Now that the entire cast of characters has finally been collected, the story somehow manages to unfold in the space of a week, despite its imposing length.  Full of nonstop action, romance and political intrigue, the heavy conclusion you've been waiting for is here to grace your bookshelf.  Recommend to anyone who loves the series, a massive found family, high stakes and tensions, a group of underdogs, battles on the moon and high science fiction political intrigue.

5.0

Consumed for the first time via audiobook.

I thought this was a wonderful conclusion to the series! It ended the storyline in a realistic ‘happily ever after’ vibe which helped go with the fairytale inspiration of the series. I thought the Snow White inspiration within this book was done wonderfully and tastefully.

I overall, recommend this series! The Lunar Chronicles is a great series that I think anyone can enjoy!
