Author: Marissa Meyer
Releasedate: 10th of November, 2015
Well, that took me some time to finish this one! It was 827 pages long, so yeah, this book took me up some time! And since I read almost everyday for about an hour... Oh well, I finished it and it was a blast! The conclusion to the epic story of Cinder where we really meet Winter and how she turned out to be who she was.
So many storylines coming together to match with the whole picture and Marissa did that wonderfully. Jampacked with so many fairytalereferences! So much has happened in this book. The last month has been just Winter for me. I loved it.
It wasn't filled with clichés. The only thing you know, or hope you know, that it's going to be allright. Even when everything goes berserk. And the fact that Cinder was so human in everything she went through, made it so real to live in this world. Her fears, her joys, her anxiety, her wishes. I felt what she felt, despite not having a cyborg hand myself. Oh boy, that must be practical. ;-)
Winter is a worthy final book in the series. I was happy dragging it along in my bag to work, despite for it being so big. Lol. You really see and feel throughout the story that Marissa thought of so much more then just the story. The backgrounds, the politics, how this all would fit in the future and yet so much is familiar despite the fact that it's not taking place in our own time. Marissa makes it easy to construct the world in your head how this all works and looks and feels and it is amazing.
The person I liked most in the story was one thing I wanted to establish for myself and I noticed that is quite a tough decision to make. I like Cinder for her resourcefullness. I like Scarlet for her down-to-earth and no-bullshit attitude. She reminds me of a friend of mine. I like Cress for her smart mind and her struggle to come around in the "normal" life with friends. I like Kai, because... Well... Kai. And I do like Wolf. So ehm, not really a person I like best. Marissa made her characters so diverse, it's hard not to feel for them and like them.
Winter is the worthy closure of an epic fairytale story.
