Winter by Marissa Meyer
4.0
I really enjoyed this whole series. Winter, the conclusion, was a long book but in general, the story was compelling enough to keep me interested the whole time.
I love the friendships in this book even more than the romances. There's no doubt that Cinder is in love with Kai, but her banter with Thorne is funny and light-hearted, the perfect antidote for the intensity of the rest of the story.
Thorne, in general, is probably my favorite character, a Gilderoy Lockhart, if GL hadn't been cowardly and cruel. Thorne is charming, funny, and just enough of a rogue to keep things interesting.
I never grew to like Jacin. He's the only one in the whole group who doesn't have any appeal. Yeah, he's obsessed with Winter - but who isn't in the lunar population?
Overall, this is a fantastic book, probably the best in the series and though I'm years late to it, I'm happy that my student recommended this one to me.
