Synopsis

The #1 New York Times Bestselling Series!

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.

Winter despises her stepmother, and knows Levana won't approve of her feelings for her childhood friend--the handsome palace guard, Jacin. But Winter isn't as weak as Levana believes her to be and she's been undermining her stepmother's wishes for years. 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.

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.

The audio includes an interview between the author and the narrator.

Reviews

AudiobooksNow review by Beverly on 2016-02-04 16:26:53

A very disappointing end to what started off as a great series. It definitely felt as if Meyer were just going through the motions to finish the book contract. The writing was repetitive, formulaic, with no surprises or spark. While I thought Meyer meant to emphasize that its the beauty within that matters, revealing Levanas deformity as a way to alien her from the people seemed superficial shes deformed, so now we know shes evil!, while Winters physical beauty but mental instability was proof she was a true heroine. To me, Winter seemed whiny and high maintenance, not something to aspire to. This book paled in comparison to the previous books in the series.

Goodreads review by Miranda on June 18, 2021

Fantastic end to a great series This series actually got better with every book. If you are on the fence after reading Cinder, I urge you to keep going. Each book follows a different couple but we still have the previous couples running around throughout the story arc. This time we follow Winter (Sn......more

Quotes

"Reader Soler is one of those magical voice actors who can create a seemingly endless supply of memorable voices. Here, she offers an appropriately sweet, fluttery Snow White-esque voice for Winter; a deliciously purring, cooing "popular mean girl" voice for Queen Levana; a French accent for Jacinl and many, many more. Even background characters who appear for just a line or two get distinctive voices, such as an Australian-accented guest at the wedding banquet. Soler's pacing is excellent, and she skillfully navigates listeners through Meyer's 23-hour story." -Publishers Weekly

"Narrator Soler returns to deliver an epic performance. She continues to enrapture listeners as she takes on the vocal stylings of 10 main characters and a plethora of secondary voices. She breathes personality into each while maintaining distinctions among the voices with a variety of pitches and accents, including French, Australian, and Irish. Her whimsical portrayal of Winter as seemingly vague and almost fluttery is a perfect contrast to the flawlessly venomous Queen Levana. Solar ramps up the pace to bring listeners to the edge of their seats in a thrilling escape scene and just as expertly slows it down for the romantic interludes. Soler’s narration helps bring this epic series to a wonderfully engaging conclusion." -Booklist
