O seu olhar tinha algo de ousado quando ela pegou o bombom com os dedos. - Mas só se você comer o outro. Seria unma grande honra dividir este premio com Vossa Alteza, a linda princesa Winter em pessoa. - Você é muito gentil. - Winter pegou o segundo bombom da caixa.

-Tenta lembrar te que eles podem alterar a aparência como quiserem- disse Cress. - Ninguém neste palácio é tão bonito quanto tu pensas. É só controlo mental. Thorne sorriu e apertou a contra o corpo. -Tenho certeza de que há pelo menos uma exceção a essa regra.

Não sabes?- perguntou Levana. -Eu deveria? 

-Criança burra.-Uma mecha de cabelo caiu no rosto de Levana.- Porque foi a tua mãe.

Ela não tinha lembranças dessa mulher, Só tinha ouvido boatos; eram histórias horríveis que diziam que a rainha Channary era ainda mais cruel do que Levana, embora o seu reinado tivesse sido curto. - A minha própria doce irmā-ronronou Levana,-Queres saber como aconteceu?

The much-awaited series finale in the New York Times bestselling series that began with 'Cinder'. This is not the fairy tale you remember - but it's one you won't forget

Stunning. Spectacular. Anxiety inducing. Suspenseful. Action packed. I loved every bit of it; although I wished it was divided in two books, I still loved it so much.

           já to miluju. fakt hrozně moc. tahle série mi rozhodně přirostla k srdci, a ráda na ní budu myslet. abych to dokázala nějak shrnout; winter jsem si oblíbila, stejně jako všechny ostatní hlavní postavy. všechny jsou svým způsobem originální a odlišné (u winter tedy doslova) a líbilo se mi sledovat to, jak se časem vyvíjí. hodně to bylo vidět u thorneho. zprvu to byl jen narcistický namyšlený voják, ale ke konci začal lidem okolo sebe ukazovat svoje opravdový pocity, například (a hlavně) strach a obavy. hlavně o cress. ach, strašně se mi líbil ten vztah mezi nimi. jak si ho cress idealizovala a chtěla s ním být i přesto, že zjistila, že takový, jaký si ho vysnila, ve skutečnosti není. a jak thorne začal přemýšlet o svých činech a snažil se kvůli cress změnit, i když mu to zprvu přišlo zbytečné. líbil se mi vztah mezi vlkem a scarlet, to pouto, které je k sobě vázalo takovou silou, hlavně asi kvůli vlkově biologické úpravě. jacin a winter byli perfektní slowburn, který stál za to. a samozřejmě cinder a kai. jejich vztah se vyvíjel celé čtyři knihy. miluju to. miluju ty postavy, miluju prostředí a nápady a to, že to jsou vlastně všechno retellingy, který na první pohled nemůžou fungovat, ale autorka to nějakým kouzlem dokáže.
.
jediné, co mě mrzí, je to, že jsem si nějak neuvědomila, že winter má být černoška. vůbec mi to nedošlo, ať už kvůli samotné obálce, nebo nedostatečnému popisu. ale to je jen maličkost.
.
5*/5* miluju to, miluju a miluju!

Book Four of the Lunar Chronicles

I enjoyed the romance between all the couples, and especially the addition of Winter and Jason. The ending was also very satisfying.

I didn’t like how long it was. I think a lot of things could have been cut out, and it would have strengthened the other parts of the plot. The plot in general didn’t fully have a normal narrative arch which sometimes made it hard to follow. 

I also thought the parts about the revolution were cheesy at times, and I think the plot was a little too similar to Mockingjay from The Hunger Games series.

Can’t believe my fun with the Rampion Crew has officially come to an end! I personally felt a lot of emotions while reading this, with anticipation and dread at reaching the finish line. I didn’t even realize how quickly I devoured these books by since I started reading Cinder and I never thought I’d love found family more than ever, but here we are. I’m extremely happy that my new favorite characters got their own different versions of a happy ending, but it is a bittersweet feeling to say goodbye to them. For a book strongly inclined with politics, I surely can’t say I liked the finale for what the crew initially fought for, but I understand that it’s the best outcome for everyone. I love these guys so much! I’ll miss them and I truly felt I was on the Rampion with them being an escaped convict myself.

*re-read 2018

Ok, WHOA. I AM SO HAPPY.
I remember it taking me forever to read this book the first time around and I don’t know what happened THIS time, but I just could NOT get enough! I feel like I stated this in the previous books review but I loved this book even MORE during this read through. I didn’t have those moments of impatience that I’d had before; I was so completely captivated the entire time. This book felt perfectly paced and so action-packed and full of LOOOVE and I had somehow forgotten EVERYTHING and watching it all unfold again was strangely nostalgic and wonderful. I love this series, truly. I somehow picked up this series again at the perfect time. 




original review: l
I can't believe it's over. The Lunar Chronicles series is officially over and it ended in the greatest way possible and my soul and heart are SO HAPPY. UGH.

This book was everything I dreamed it could be. So much happened and she wrapped everything up so gracefully!

And, my God, the OTP's. I love every single character and couple in this book. So much love is in this book and my HEART IS SMILING. YES. SO GOOD.

I don't even know how to write a review for this book. It was phenomenal and great and basically perfect.

In the beginning, I did have moments where I kept thinking, "This is taking forever." But there was so much that had to happen and I realize that now. She had so much plot to get thought and discuss and so many characters to follow. It's crazy to think of everything that happened in this book. SO MUCH HAPPENED. Marissa Meyer is a writing genius.

I don't know what else to say besides the fact that this is one of my favorite series of all time and you must go read it. Like, right now.

4.5 stars

I did it. I finished this 823 page whooper, the longest book I've ever read. What an accomplishment. It took me 2 years for me to get my hands on this book and I was definitely not disappointed. I am usually anxious about finales as they have the potential to absolutely destroy a series that you hold so dear. But let me tell you, this finale is fantastic! I am so grateful I picked up this series in 2015 and got to experience the world, the reimagined fairytale stories, and of course, the beauty, the amazingness that is the Rampion Crew.

I LOVE THIS BOOK AND CURRENTLY IN MY DEATH BED

I don’t know what to do with my life now that I finished. I don’t have any words left in me.. READ THIS SERIES 😭🫶🏼✨

Really good end to a really good series. Usually, the final book tends to be rushed to somehow finish the story, but this one, albeit long, was tied up pretty nicely. I absolutely love the Scarlet/Wolf and Cress/Thorne parts, they are arguably my favourite parts of the series.

** spoiler alert **
           I finished a series in 2020. This feels absolutely bonkers and crazy for me, as I've been slowly tackling my way through many series for years and never managed to make it to the end to. So yes, I had a wee bit of a happy dance once I finished this massive book. It only clocks in at over 800 pages, so it was a little long. 

This book was packed tight with action, romance and conclusions. And honestly, it was a bit too long. I started to lose interest about halfway through even though I knew most of the plot devices that were happening were one hundred percent needed to tie up a lot of loose ends. I sort of wish this had been five books instead of four, solely because this book just seemed like too much (but that's my personal opinion). 

Plot wise: We meet Winter, a Princess of Luna. Queen Levana does not like her, because she doesn't really like anymore to be honest. Winter is an absolute beauty (because I'm pretty sure she's Snow White, so she's the fairest of them all) but she's a little bit insane. She sees things that aren't there because she won't use her manipulation powers. To top it off, Winter has a guard named Jacin (the Huntsman, obviously) that she's got the hots for, but there's some drama there too. He's Levana's guard, so things are gonna get messy. Meanwhile, Cinder, Kai, Scarlett, Wolf, Cress, Thorne, Iko and friends are all trying to get to Luna to stop Queen Levana and her wicked path. There's many side stories involving this bunch since they have been split up, but they all are working towards their end goal. 

Marissa Meyer has shown me that she is just a magical author being from another universe with her miraculous plots and incredible writing skills. I honestly can't believe how she got so many people trapped in this universe and unable to get out. I was personally addicted to the last three books! It's just insane. Buuuut, due to my own life experience right now (full of stress and anxiety from school, COVID-19, home, etc., etc.), I just didn't enjoy this book as much as the others. I can totally appreciate this book though, because it is super good! It's unfortunate, but I needed a book I knew would be good to try to get out of my funk.

The best part of this book was the absolutely fricking wild climax to the story. It's big, bombastic, and full of absolute chaos. Be ready to have your heart strings pull as the story pulls you in so many different directions. I could barely believe what I was reading half the time - Marissa's got some real skill.

My biggest negative was listed above: the length. It's crazy long, there's a lot going on and sometimes it was hard to follow. You need a really good attention span to keep this book going. Also, the pages of this book were SUPER thin for the soft cover. That drives me crazy.

Positives: Snow White is a WOC (that could be seen as bad because she is literally the crazy character, but she also kicks some butt... so you win some, you lose some?), Thorne and Cress are adorbs, Scarlett is awesome, Cinder's always cool. 

I would love to see this book series as a television series, but I don't think they could do it justice. Either way, can we at least get some good fan art or photography of the scenes in this book? I think it'd be super cute.

Overall, this book was a nice ride and I'm happy I got the chance to finish this series! Keep up the great work Marissa!

Four out of five stars.

this was an okay-to-good-ish read i think. most of the time i was thinking why is this so goddamn long??? literally couldve ended way earlier imo; the plot circled around a bit too much for my liking so i had to drag myself through the second half. 

the ending was as expected i guess but i sort of wished with that many pages there couldve been more development in terms of the relationships/friendships between the main characters.
