This book just brought to light all of the flaws in the world building for me and the length of the book didn’t help make the flaws less apparent.Īruuuuuug, this book is so long! I don’t understand why it’s so long, either. “Why did Earthen’s migrate to Luna in the first place if resources were so low?” “Why did they mutate to have the Lunar gift in the first place?”. Like, one thing would be explained, and I’d have another question about the world. I feel like Luna wasn’t really well thought out, to be perfectly honest.
I’ve seen this type of design for the Moon Kingdom in a few fanfictions I’ve read as well, so even though it’s an inventive way to portray the moon with all of the scifi fantasy stuff in it it’s not really original.
I know Meyer is a huge Sailor Moon fan, but honestly this rubbed me the wrong way. World BuildingĮver seen Sailor Moon, guys? Remember the Moon Kingdom in the Silver Millennium? Because that’s Luna in a nutshell! I kept on thinking while reading this that it was basically YA dystopian Moon Kingdom, with Queen Beryl ruling. This audiobook includes an exclusive interview between the author and the narrator. Can Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, and Winter defeat Levana and find their happily ever afters?įans will not want to miss this thrilling conclusion to Marissa Meyer’s national best-selling Lunar Chronicles series. 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. But Winter isn’t as weak as Levana believes her to be, and she’s been undermining her stepmother’s wishes for years. Winter despises her stepmother and knows Levana won’t approve of her feelings for her childhood friend – the handsome palace guard, Jacin. 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.
That being said, spoilers for not only Winter, but the entire Lunar Chronicles series below!
But instead of just ranting about this book, I figured I’d do a review in my usual format and then do some other follow up posts about my gripes with this book/series as a whole. And by that I mean, I have so many things I need to vent about in this review ugh. I have so many feelings about this final installment, that I was half tempted to not review it in my usual format.
