Why I picked it
summaryWinter is the step daughter of Queen Levana. She refuses to use her Lunar gift, cursing her with the Lunar sickness. Through this book, she helps Cinder and the rest of the crew to fight back against the evil Levana to reclaim Luna and Earth. The character of Winter is a retelling of Snow White, and you can definitely see the connections between the classic fairytale and this book!! what I likedWinter is such a great character! Her illness makes her more fragile, yet she is still such a strong character. She also is very stubborn, and very intelligent (it's just hidden by crazy). Winter and Jacin's relationship is ADORABLE. I ship them hard. They're so sweet, and yet there's the classic social status trope where she is unattainable because she is royalty and he is a measly guard. Meyer once again did a great job of creating a brand new retelling of a classic fairytale (Snow White). Sometimes I forgot that it was a retelling, but then I'd think about it and start really seeing the connections. She does such a great job of disguising the classic into her story that you can see it if you're looking, yet it's still a whole new story! Along with Winter's story, the whole Lunar series is starting to wrap up, and it was really cool to see how the fight would end. I think that Meyer did a pretty good job with keeping suspense high, writing a good sequence of events (especially from different POVs), and wrapping up the story. Sometimes I'm left wanting more, but this ending was actually pretty satisfactory (not that I won't take more stories about the characters' lives as they get older). what I didn't likeThere was not a lot that I didn't like. It had a good balance of sad and happy and suspenseful and fast-moving action. overall impression🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟5/5 stars, it was a good wrap up to the series. Now, just to finish Stars Above, the collection of short stories giving background on the other books and supporting characters!
