A review by juliapatt2007
Winter by Marissa Meyer

3.0

 I would have to say that Winter was my least favorite “princess”. Her Lunar sickness was hard for me to follow occasionally. I was also unhappy how Meyer handled her illness in the end there wasn’t a cure or very much closure talked about.

The relationships in the end made me happy how they all ended although I was expecting a proposal from Kai but I appreciated that the author acknowledged they are still teenagers and need some time to settle into their new roles.

One of my complaints with this author (and something that I’ve noticed throughout the whole series) is occasionally it will be difficult to figure out who is speaking. I’ve found myself re-reading portions of dialogue several times to focus and figure out who is saying what. My favorite part about these series is the leading ladies, they are all strong in their own way and their men compliment them appropriately. Scarlet and Wolf were my favorite couple but I loved the mutual support Kai and Cinder shared when both were becoming leaders of countries very young.

Content Warnings

Minor: Sexual content

There are quite a few kisses between all the couples and Thorne and Cress have a makeout session before the party which I thought was somewhat out of place considering the tame nature of all the other kisses. But then again I wasn’t too surprised considering Thorne’s reputation throughout the series (totally a Flynn Ryder type).

There was some language but nothing different from the other books.
