So good! I loved this one. The world building isn’t the strongest part, but plot, characters, romance and witty dialogue makes up for all other faults.

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.

hehe this was a great book. i loved how you got the perspectives of all 10 members. however this book probably could have been split into two books because wow that was hard to read when lying down. it was a really cute book (i love wolf) and i never knew where the plot would turn. i probably read it too late in my life to adore it like some of my friends do because i’m a few years older than the target audience. but still, what a lovely series!

I don’t even know where to start with how amazing this series has been. I was so invested in the characters throughout the entire book. This set of characters will definitely stick with me for a long, long time. I normally am not able to finish books as long as this one without being bored but I never got into a slump. I’m very satisfied with the way Meyer ended everyone’s stories, and I’m beyond excited to read the collection of novellas.
