![]() ![]() The first book introduces Cinder and each subsequent book introduces a new character (or brings a previously supporting character into the foreground). ![]() When Cinder discovers the truth about her identity, she teams up with Scarlet, Cress, and Winter to overthrow Levana. Winter is Levana’s stepdaughter, and the people love her and say she is even lovelier than Levana, who desires to be the fairest of them all. Cress has been forced to work for Levana since childhood on a satellite, from which she monitors Earth’s net traffic. Scarlet wears a red hoodie, loves her grandmother, and falls for an ex-soldier named Wolf. This review is as much about the series in its entirety as it is about this book.Ĭinder is a cyborg with an artificial foot, and she lives with her abusive foster mother and sisters. The series is structured as a science fiction version of fairytales, and it has elements of hard science fiction, fantasy, and steampunk. ![]() The Lunar Chronicles series tells of a future Earth that is menaced by a Lunar Queen, Levana. There’s at least one more book on the way, Stars Above, which will be a collection of short stories, but in Winter the main narrative of the series is wrapped up with lots of action, a startling amount of gore, and happy endings for most of the main characters. Well, it’s been a long road involving five books, but with the latest installment, Winter, The Lunar Chronicles has come to a bloody yet satisfying conclusion. Genre: Science Fiction/Fantasy, Young Adult ![]()
