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.

5/5

Books, books and books...

So...I got me some new books today...again....blaming my dad for that! He's been talking about the new Cormoran Strike book, Career of Evil, for a while and been waiting for me to buy the book so he could start reading his on his kindle. So today I finally bought a copy (and two more books). I have been thinking about buying it for a while, but I haven't found the "right format" (I try to have the same height on the series...I know...that's just me :P), so I've waited and waited, but in the end I bought the book. And am actually going to read it now after I finish writing this..

So! Over to the three books I bought today!














Origin (Nr. 4 in the Lux series) by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Opposition (Nr. 5 in the Lux series) by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Career of Evil (Nr. 3 in the Cormoran Strike series) by Robert Galbraith

And that was it! I'm going to write my thoughts about Winter right now as well so I will see you soon!

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 :)

New book!

Got a new book in the mail today! Whoop!



The last book in the The Lunar Chronicles series, Winter by Marissa Meyer.


 I loved the previous books in this series so I'm looking forward to read the last one! Which (unfortunately) might take a while because I'm already reading the second book in the The Century trilogy by Ken Follett that my dad recommended. We'll see if I take a break from Ken Follett after I finish reading the second book or finish the final Century book before I move on to Winter.



Since I'm already here I wanted to talk a little about the one I currently read. I think The Century trilogy is great so far. And that says something, because I feel like I've heard enough of WW1 and WW2 in the History class and don't really want to watch or read about it since I'm not into it so much. I know what happened and all, and that is enough for me...buuut this trilogy i enjoy. I've read the first book, The Fall of Giants and had to read the next one. So now I currently read the second book, Winter of the World, and am still hooked. It's a great story and you get to know five different families in the first bok and then, in this book, you get to read about the story of the children to the ones that was in the first one. That sounded weird in my head but I'm going to write about the first book tomorrow.



I hope I'll see you soon! 
For now: back to reading my book!
