The ending makes me want more adventures from the Rampion crew and see a better outcome for Winter! I cannot wait for the four-part series to come out! The Lunar Chronicles is definitely a MUST OWN for me!! I could read it again and again! @marissameyerauthor hasn't disappointed me yet!! My ratings for action and romance are 👊👊👊👊/💖💖💖

i keep saying family over and over again but i’ve never been more serious when i say that i am blood related to all of the rampion crew and i grew up with them and died with them. the ending had me tearing up i won’t even lie rn my children are happy and DING DONG the witch is dead! thank you marissa for answering my prayers!

this book is like really fucking long obviously but it didn’t drag on too long to me cause the stakes were so high and there were more characters to follow. that being said i wished there were more scarlet, wolf, and thorne povs cause they kinda get the short end of the stick in terms of development. i honestly wouldn’t have minded if it was longer to see more of them. i also didn’t love the fade to black after the fight with levana but i understand that she needed to wrap it up quickly since it’s 300 pages longer than all of the other books.

all in all such a fun series loved the plot and the characters of course. the dynamics are so well done and i was so engaged with the story. will be picking up stars above soon so i can see my children living happily ever after amen

This is my review of the whole series: overall, a really fun sci fi fantasy YA series. It’s a classic for a reason. The characters can crack a lot of jokes to ease the tension (cough cough Thorne) and cinder is so tangibly awkward half of the time. But I’ve come to love all of the characters, especially Kai’s sass and Torin’s eternal fatigue, and I’m excited to read stars above.

I am almost completely satisfied with this book. I really wanted Kai and Cinder to get married at the end, but like I can deal with them just being together. Okay so hear are my favorite couples in order of how much I love them:
KAI AND CINDER: I love them so so so so so so much. They are so cute and just like Cinder counting how many times they've kissed, and just like them like cozying up to each other and stuff was just great. My favorite was every time Kai got himself in trouble, he'd wish for Cinder to come and save him.
Okay, just imagine the last three couples have a tie for second place because I really can't decide my favorites after them
Scarlet and Wolf: Omg they're so darn cuteeee! Even when Wolf had all of that stuff done to him, Scarlet was still like I love you. That whole alpha thing was adorable too. Omg Thorne like reacting to their relationship gave me life. That was fantastic.
Thorne and Cress: Rapunzel is one of my top like 3 favorite princesses so this was quite exciting for me. Thorne was great. I love Thorne so much. So fricking much. I was so happy when he finally realized he was in love with Cress because all of that I don't wanna hurt you, and we're just friends crap was starting to piss me off. Obviously, they were meant for each other. My favorite scene of there's was when Thorne admits that when he made out with the Lunar and professed his love for her, the Lunar had glamoured herself to look like Cress. I was crying like omggg you two are too adorable.
Winter and Jacin: Ugh, I feel like their relationship is like a dream. I love that whole we've known each other since we were younger, and like we've been in love and stuff. That was great. I love how much Jacin just cared for Winter. Like that was great. No matter how nuts Winter became, Jacin still loved her. He like even switched to Cinder's side to protect her. At first I thought he was just some grumpy guard and I really didn't trust him, and then I got to learn about him through Winter's eyes and I just love them.
Overall the character relationships were just like GOALSSS and I was really happy with them.

Such an epic conclusion to The Lunar Chronicles. Beautifully orchestrated and equally heart-wrenching and joyous.
