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 national bestselling Lunar Chronicles series.
Review
“In this final book in the Lunar Chronicles, the stepdaughter of the
wicked Queen Levana joins Cinder, Scarlet, and Cress to defeat the Queen
and restore Cinder — aka Selene — as the rightful ruler of Luna. Yes, it's
another one of Meyer's very fractured fairy tales, in which she offers a
new amalgam of Grimm's fairy tales, science fiction, violence, women's
lib, and romance. Our Snow White stand-in, Winter, is beautiful in spite
of facial scars, kind to all she encounters, mentally fragile, and in
love with her lowly guard, Jacin . . . Meyer's series has sold well and
achieved a degree of acclaim. This conclusion's cinder-block size should
only drum up further interest.” Booklist, starred review
