Winter is a good finale to the series, and it's satisfying to see all the storylines wind together. It's definitely plot-focused, but the characters are entertaining and well-rounded. It's also fun to see how Meyer uses the original fairy tale to inspire her novel.

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!
