Winter by Marissa Meyer
3.75

The EPIC finale to the New York Times best-selling series ‘The Lunar Chronicles’ by another favourite author of mine Marissa Meyer. ‘Winter’ is the perfect YA fantasy to pick up this ‘winter’ season ❄️.

It’s a fairytale retelling loosely based on the classic favourite ‘Snow White’ set in a dystopian world. Princess Winter is admired by the Lunar people for her grace and kindness, and despite the scars on her face, her beauty is said to be even more breathtaking than that of her stepmother, Queen Levana. But Winter isn't as weak as Levana believes her to be and she's been undermining her stepmother's wishes for years. Together with the cyborg mechanic, Cinder, and her allies, fighter Scarlet and hacker Cress, Winter might even have the power to launch a revolution and win a war that's been raging for far too long. Can Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, and Winter defeat Levana and find their happily ever afters?

But remember, they ain’t the damsel in distresses you know… Go ahead and grab the fourth and final book, a thrilling conclusion to the Lunar Chronicles series and if you haven’t started this series yet, do it NOW! It’s set in the future in a time of disease and war. This series is part twisted fairy tale, part dystopia and part sci-fi fantasy. Cinderella (Cinder), Red Riding Hood (Scarlet), Rapunzel (Cress) and Snow White (Winter) are re-imagined like you have never seen them before. The story is built slowly yet brilliantly in each book. We come across new characters we'd either love to the core or hate so much we'd wish they die!

Marissa Meyer has done an outstanding job in building up the story and the portrayal of characters and as always Meyer’s the queen of action-packed scenes, so you’ll surely not be disappointed.
