adventurous emotional medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.25

First read: 5 stars
Second read: 3.5 stars. (I found it  too long and too much the second time around, to the point where the fun parts were overshadowed by the fact that I had so much book left. I liked it, but it didn't stand out.)

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.
