Wow this series has been a wild ride! This book was absolutely incredible but I think Scarlet is still my favorite of the series. After I finished Cress I spend so many nights just staying up and wondering what was going to happen in Winter and it exceeded all my expectations. I absolutely adore this series and this book.

Overall this is a 5 star series. Such a great young adult series. If someone is looking for a true young adult series without worrying about spice sneaking in, this is a great choice. This final book wrapped things up pretty well and kept me on the edge of my seat, especially towards the end. The book was a bit longer than needed and with so many main characters, there were long gaps in between seeing some characters, but the pacing was good, so I never hit a point where things dragged on. Also, I read this book before reading any of the novellas or prequels and understood everything just fine. I look forward to reading those other stories to get more of a background though.

i feel like cinder has been hogging all the chapters scarlet cress and winter never really got as much even though they were all title characters.  
in cinder-cinder-100%
in scarlet-cinder-50%-scarlet-50%
in cress-cinder-40%-scarlet-10%-cress-50%
in WINTER-cinder-40%-scarlet-15%-cress-20%-WINTER THE TITLE CHARACTER-25%
IN TOTAL
cinder got 2 1/3 books
scarlet got 3/4 of a book
cress got a 7/10 of a book
and winter got 1/4 of a book. cinder was my least favorite character of the four and winter is my favorite. growl. 


STILL it was good and my favorite in the series. probably mostly because i read it at the beach. 
winter deserves better than a quarter of her book.

Finally (!!!) finished! Great, satisfying conclusion to the series. I can’t say what had initially made me out it down and lose interest, but returning to it o quite enjoyed it this go-round.
