At 800 pages, I was expecting an epic story, but I really got a lot of redundant internal worrying, repeated failed attempts to best Levana, and a sadly formulaic YA dystopian-society-rising-against-the-oppressive-aristocarcy novel (*cue the Mockingjay theme*). It felt unnecessarily and excruciatingly long. This book took me almost an entire month to read. I was sure I’d knock this book out in a week or less (which is quick with my work schedule).
I dragged myself to Barnes & Noble after an eleven hour work day to buy it in person to ensure that I received a copy that was in pristine condition.Īnd then all of my hopes and dreams fell victim to something I never thought would impact the quality of this series: hype.
Her characters have depth and feel like my own friends. I think her skill at writing fairy tale retellings is magnificent. So I’m going to start with a disclaimer: I love Marissa Meyer. The reader who seemed to have missed the memo that this was an amazing, flawless, work of utter perfection. Together with the cyborg mechanic, Cinder, and her allies, Winter might even have the power to launch a revolution and win a war that’s been raging for far too long.Ĭan Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, and Winter defeat Levana and find their happily ever afters? But Winter isn’t as weak as Levana believes her to be and she’s been undermining her stepmother’s wishes for years. Winter despises her stepmother, and knows Levana won’t approve of her feelings for her childhood friend-the handsome palace guard, Jacin. Princess Winter is admired by the Lunar people for her grace and kindness, and despite the scars that mar her face, her beauty is said to be even more breathtaking than that of her stepmother, Queen Levana. Published by Feiwel and Friends on November 10th 2015 Winter (The Lunar Chronicles, #4) by Marissa Meyer
