Winter

It started with Cinderella, moved on to Little Red Riding Hood, lifted off with Rapunzel and comes to it's amazing conclusion with Snow White. Marissa Meyer has created the most amazingly modern series of fairy tales that will keep you on the edge of your seats. Winter is Snow White's tale. In this rendition Winter is the step-daughter of the evil Levana. (Check out her story in Fairest). Winter is a little of her rocker in a very endearing way. She refuses to use her Lunar gift and this has reeked havoc on her mind. While she means well, she has terrible visions and this messes with her grip on reality. To make her problems worse, she is stunningly beautiful and a huge threat to Levana. Winter decides to help Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, Thorne, Kai and Wolf start a rebellion to put the lost Queen Selene back on her throne. With her loyal guard Jacin, she must use all her cunning to stay out of Levana's way while convincing the people of Luna to rise up and revolt against the queen. All your favorites are back in this fourth and final volume of the Lunar Chronicles. All of them are in peril for over 800 pages. All of them are looking for their happily every after. I don't know which character I love the most. Sometimes it's the Captain's humor. Sometimes Cinder's bravery. Sometimes Winter's quirks. Sometimes Kai's steadfastness. Sometimes Wolf's loyalty. It's hard to decide. You can't start with this book, so find your way to Cinder and enjoy the journey through your childhood fairy tales. But don't think for one second these books are for a child. Clever, modern and wickedly funny, you  will never be sorry you went to the ball, ate the apple, let down your hair or took a trip through the woods to Grandma's house. No damsel's in distress here. Happy reading my friends- may you read this happily ever after.
