Winter - Marissa Meyer

So that was fast! Been reading one book for 2 month and now I finished this one in only a few days! Anyways... Here's my thoughts about this wonderful book!

Winter by Marissa Meyer is the last book in this amazing saga called The Lunar Chronicles. I was lucky I didn't have to wait as long as the others to read this book since I found out about this last year. I know I might have said this with the other books (and maybe continue to say it in the future), but if you haven't read any of these books then you might miss out on an amazing (and awesome) story about disney princesses and characters in a whole different setting and universe!

The Blurb:

Winter is admired for her grace, kindness and beauty, despite the scars on her face. She's said to be even more breath taking than her stepmother, Queen Levana...

When Winter develops feelings for the handsome palace guard Jacin, she fears the evil Queen will crush their romance before it has a chance to begin.

But there are stirrings against the Queen across the land. Together with the cyborg mechanic, Cinder, and her allies. Winter might even find the power to launch a revolution and win a war that's been raging for far too long.

Can Cinder, Scarlet, Cress and Winter claim their happily-ever-afters by defeating Levana once and for all?

My Thoughts:

I just love this saga and am so happy to find out about these books! It's like reading about the good old disney characters you've grown up with but with a twist.

In this book you get to find out about Winter and the things she's been through and Cinder, Scarlet and Cress are obviously a part of this book as well. The same way as in the other books. 

In the previous book, it ended with them planning on taking over Luna and take the Queen (if I remember correctly). In this last book, they go to war and tries to get as many people of Luna over on their side to defeat the Queen and her army. The planning, the war and everything had me so hooked I could barely put the book down! Especially when I came to the part when they went to war against the evil Queen and her people! I was raging at the Queen and felt sorry about Winter and just..just..all these emotion reading about the characters and what they were doing and all the trouble they went through just to do the right things. And even had tears in my eyes at some point when the Lunars agreed to help the lost princess to get her crown back. I always get tears in my eyes when it comes to people trusting someone and wants to help..(happened on Arrow too, when Diggle said he wanted to help Queen..). I just can't help it...

So anyway. The story is amazing and I have no idea what more to say other than that I just love the whole setting and wasn't disappointed about the ending (although it would have been nice to read about the things that happened next).. It's a reason why I say that I'm writing my thoughts and not a review :P

One thing for sure and that is that this is not the last time I'll be reading these books! It was such an amazing story from the first book to the last one.

A list over my books!

Hello!

I've been thinking for a while about adding a list over all my books and now I've finally done it! So now, if you want, you can click on this link  (or find it on the sidebar under pages) and there you can find aaaall of the books that I own! I've also added (read) on the ones that I'm finished and (currently reading) on the ones I'm..uhm you understand... :P 

Anyways! If there's a book that you want to read and see that I've already read then you can ask me about the book(s) if you want. If there's some books you're curious about and want to read more about but you're not sure which book is the "right one" because of the author, then you can ask me about that as well :)

Aaand if you just want to discuss books then we can do that too :P
(or, if you like spn we can talk about that as well! X) )

When it comes to Edge of Eternity...I'm STILL reading it, BUT! It's not that much left though.. only 342ish pages..

Hopefully I will finish it soon so I can move over to the last book in The Lunar Chronicles series, Winter.

Bye! x

One last thing: Last year (in December (?)) I told you I had gotten myself a youtube channel where I could talk about books and stuff, but after 2 uploaded videoes (and a few non-edited, non-published ones) I have decided that I'm not going to make or upload any more videoes. At least for now. I do want to continue, but right now I want to focus on this blog instead :)

Cinder - Marissa Meyer

This is the first book in The Lunar Chronicles series by Marissa Meyer. It's a whole different world with old disney characters brought back to life in whole new ways (if that made any sense). This book is about Cinder (don't have to tell you who she's based of)  and in the other books we meet Scarlett (Little Red Riding Hood), Cress (Rapunzel) and Winter (Snow White). The last book, Winter, was released few weeks ago.

The Blurb:

Cinder,  a gifted mechanic in New Beijing, is also a cyborg. She's reviled by her stepmother and blamed for her stepsister's sudden illness. But when her life becomes entwined with the handsome Prince Kai's she finds herself at the centre of a violent struggle between the desires of an evil queen - and a dangerous temptation.

Cinder is caught between duty and freedom, loyalty and betrayal. Now she must uncover secrets about her mysterious past in order to protect Earth's future.

A forbidden romance.

A deadly plague.

Earth's fate hinges on one girl...

This is not the fairy tale you remember. But it's one you wont forget.

My Thoughts:

I saw this book in a youtube video earlier this year and wanted to check it out. I grew up with the good old disney so I was excited about this one. It's a whole different world with good old disney princesses in an alternative universe. Cinderella is a cyborg who works as a mechanic. The prince is there (and still handsome) and her stepmother is the same. Aaaand there's also the Evil Queen of course. Sooo..what's not to love?  Let's just say that I loved it so much that I had to buy the next two books. (had to wait for the last book since it got released few weeks ago.. :(  I finally got it noow!:D ) The whole story is great and I can easily connect the names in these books with the old characters.

 It would have been awesome if someone made The Lunar Chronicles series into movies.

Anyway.. I fell in love with this series and can't wait to read the last one! And I will most likely read them again some day!
