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.
Winter despises her stepmother, and knows Levana won’t approve of her feelings for her childhood friend—the handsome palace guard, Jacin. But Winter isn’t as weak as Levana believes her to be and she’s been undermining her stepmother’s wishes for years. 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.
Can Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, and Winter defeat Levana and find their happily ever afters? Fans will not want to miss this thrilling conclusion to Marissa Meyer's nationally bestselling Lunar Chronicles series.
This description comes from the publisher. *Winter* is the fourth book in the Lunar Chronicles, the first of which is *Cinder*.

The truth was, when I first picked up [b:Cinder 11235712 Cinder (The Lunar Chronicles, #1) Marissa Meyer https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1388186881s/11235712.jpg 15545385] almost a year ago, I wasn't completely sold on the story. Cinderella? A cyborg? The entire concept just seemed almost too strange. But after having the book sit around on my kindle app for about two months, I decided to give it a try. And I was glad I did. Cinder was fun, but I wasn't in any hurry to read the sequel. But eventually I did pick up [b:Scarlet 13206760 Scarlet (The Lunar Chronicles, #2) Marissa Meyer https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1342485529s/13206760.jpg 18390691] too, and the series just kept on getting better from there. Winter was no exception. This book was a monster in terms of size, but it didn't feel that way. When I finally had a minute to sit down and read, I flew through the pages. I loved Winter's unique take on the character of Snow White and the world that Marissa Meyer created up on the moon. If you haven't picked up this series yet, perhaps you were like me and thought that the entire plot just seemed weird, then I don't know what you are doing with your life. Pick up Cinder asap.
I have finally finished this series (I'm not counting Fairest or Stars Above when I say series)! And I'm only really 4 months late for this one!
I have a lot of conflicting thoughts about this series as a whole, it definitely had its ups and downs and grew on me as I completed each book. That being said, this book was a beast all on its own. For starters, it is massive at over 800 pages. Going into the book, I'm not sure what I was expecting, but the story and plot really seemed to drag for me. We were leading up to this epic revolution and fight against the Queen, but I felt like there was a lot of filler and just unnecessary drama and kidnapping.
So while this book dragged and I lost interest at times, I still really love these characters. I don't think I had enough time to really get to know Winter and Jacin, but I still feel like they are an integral part to this cast that I have come to adore. Cress and Kai continue to be my favorite people in the gang, but each member has their peculiarities that I love.
