If you haven’t yet read Marissa Meyer’s Lunar Chronicles—or have been holding off on starting until you could read the entire series—then the concluding volume, Winter, is definitely not to be missed. Coming in at 832 pages, this book is definitely long—but Meyer is such a wonderful writer and storyteller that the pages fly by. I’ve been a huge fan of this series since Cinder, and Winter was a wonderful end to the story.

Winter by Marissa Meyer
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.
These Broken Stars is the first of the Starbound Trilogy—all of which have gorgeous covers. The cover was what first drew my eye and made me give the book a try, but the story inside is just as fantastic. The world building and the prose are lush and beautiful, but it’s the love story between Lilac and Tarver that most carried me away.

Winter by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner
Lilac is the daughter of the richest man in the universe. Tarver comes from nothing, a young war hero who learned long ago that girls like Lilac are more trouble than they're worth. But with only each other to rely on, Lilac and Tarver must work together, making a tortuous journey across the eerie, deserted terrain to seek help.
