A review by rhiaintheclouds
Winter by Marissa Meyer

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

4.5

man... this was a rollercoaster. 
i'm ngl, i do think this book could've been shortened down quite a lot because it felt like the last 20% was slightly rushed. i appreciate that Meyer basically gave us
happy endings and like an ending for all the relationships bc OBVIOUSLY we all wanted that
but I felt like I could've gone away with like the extra bits🥲 I kind of got bored after the 60% mark? and it didn't pick up again until the 80% mark. Also like Miss Meyer please, the amount of heartbreak I went through this entire book omg. 

Anyways, still a fantastic way to conclude the series and maybe just one day I'll feel for Levana and read her story........... (also now i truly know why this series is considered one of the OG's of YA Fantasy)
