One thing I forgot about 2010s YA is it was built different aka it will get violent and you’ll think wow I can’t believe this is YA

I did like the ending but it just took so long to get there, 25 hours and 99 chapters ??? I feel like this should have been two books instead of one looooong book.

I’m really proud of all the characters and their growth and wish an epilogue showing

Luna being a republic and Cinder and Kai together

but I do feel like it was wrapped up well

This finale to The Lunar Chronicles was incredible. I often find that finales can make or break the series for me. I heard a lot of positive reviews on Winter, but an 800+ page conclusion to a series that I grew to love kind of intimated me. What if they ruined the characters? What if the pacing wasn’t right? Etc. Etc. Apparently, however, I needn’t have worried because Marissa Meyer is a character and story-pacing genius! It was fast-paced (especially for such a long book!), intense, and exciting. It had a bit of a different feel than the previous three books if only because the setting moved to Luna – but it still felt very cohesive with the rest of the series.

I loved this conclusion so much, and I really don’t want to say goodbye to this world and the characters that I have grown to love.

Thank goodness for the Stars Above novella which I need to get my hands on ASAP. Epilogue time!
May the series never truly end.

Everything I could have wanted and more in the final book of The Lunar Chronicles. It took me a long time to get through but I wanted to savor every detail, and Meyers wrapped up every plot beautifully, even with a few surprises along the way. Definitely recommend this YA fantasy fiction without hesitation! It's clean, creative, charming, and crazy good.
