My name is Christine Riccio! I love comedy and reading fantastic books. I make what I like to think are funny videos every Tuesday and other days of the week too about books and book related pop culture stuff! Hence the channel name polandbananasbooks. I also have a comedy channel if you're into that kind of thing winky face it's polandbananas20. I'D LOVE TO TALK ABOUT BOOKS WITH YOU. ALSO COMEDY. ALSO TV. ALSO MOVIES.
I loved how kai actually snorted when levana vowed to love him during the wedding scene😂👌
WHEN THORNE PUT CRESS ON A DESK AND KISSED HER AND IT WAS PASSIONATE AND HE SAID THEYD CONTINUE LATER AND WHEN ASKED WHAT HE WAS DOING HE SAID " just kissing my girl " AND ALSO WHEN THEY KISSED HER IN THE HOSPITAL SO CUTE THE FEELS
I FUCKING KNOW RIFHT
It was surprising and satisfactory and just..........yes.
Abby Danielle Thorne and Cress for the win. ❤️
YESSSSSNSHEHSISISOSIF I LOVED THOSE MOMENTS😭😭😭😅💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
Anyone else notice that Thorne is a LOT like Flynn Ryder in Tangled?
OHMYGOD YES
Erin Elizabeth thats why when i ship cress and thorne i hum, i see the light
Erin Elizabeth I was thinking the same cause they were both thieves.
I think the only differnence between Flynn Rider and Carswell Thorne is that Thorne would be more that happy to jump up on a table and sing.
YESSS
Anytime the Lunars are described I think of the people in the Capital (hunger games). You know with all the crazy hair and makeup and metallics
+TiffanyHeartsU SAME when they were first described, that was the first thing I thought of
Me 2
yes me tooooo,,, even the sectors = districts
+FunSoSoToTo Yes, the whole lunar dynamic reminded me so much of HG, with Artemisia being the Capitol and the sectors being the districts. The people of Artemisia being really naive and lady Gaga like.
+TiffanyHeartsU THIS! The costumes and such, yes i WAS like "that's like the Capital' lol
"That's how you do a finale! You write a thousand pages and put in everything that needs to be said!"
So true though XD
"It's a crown of dead flowers from two random street children, get a GRIP levana" fav quote of the day
Cress and Thorne are by far my favourite couple.
Same! They're adorable! I die every time they have a scene alone!
I can't take it every time they are in the same room.
they are my second. cinder and kai are my first. scarlet, wolf and winter jacin are tied for the both annoying
But they're so witty. And Cress goes to show that you can end up with your celebrity crush even if they live on earth and you live in a satellite.
I thought I was the only one with with the particular taste of dodie + the lunar chronicles!!!!! (also, cresswell are my favorite too!!!!!)
I think we need a Cress and Thorne book!
+olivia baker 100% AGREE!!!!!
yassssssss♡
i think we need a book for all of them. expe ially the whole iko a kinney shipping
Danni. K Try Wires and Nerve.Its a comic book but its worth the read
Well, isn't "Cress" already their book?
I just re read the series. I got major Jacin-winter feels, even bigger than last time. Cinder and Kai are my favorite couple, but there's no doubt in hell that Jacin and winters relationship is the saddest. If you read stars above, and then the series again, you'll fully grasp my meaning. The fact that they loved eachother since being children is just so.. I don't have a word for it. Beautiful? And they couldn't be together. Not with Levana as queen. And then there were all those threats. Threats to Jacin about winter and vice versa. Then there's her hallucinations. My heart broke for her every time she had one. And Jacin was almost always there helping her through it. And then when he had to fake her death. Re reading it again, I realised how heartbreaking that chapter is. To her knowledge at the time, that was the last time she would see him. So she told him she loved him and she wouldn't to spend the last moments of her life kissing him and she was glad that he was the one to kill her and she was scared but she did not hesitate to accept it. All she wanted was to protect him. she wanted him to be safe and if him killing her was the way to do it she was going to let him. But Jacin cared about her that much and even more. So he faked it. To protect her and risked his life in doing so. I absolutely love winters character. She's brave and strong and quirky and different and gentle and kind and beautiful and amazing. I just feel like their relationship doesn't get nearly as much attention as it deserves.
wanted to spend the last moments of her life*
Percy Jackson yes yES YES... I loved Winter's character but felt like she had too little 'screentime' in her book :/
Average Nerd Well I mean, they needed her character to develop and since it was the last book she needed a little bit more screen time than other characters.
+Percy Jackson hello bae
YES! My people out here!
My fav part is totally when Thorne punches Jacin and he's like "That's for trading us on earth!" And then he's like "And this is for protecting Cress.." And he hugs him I'm like Awww Thorne!👍🏻😂😂👍🏻😂😂👍🏻
MY FAVORITE PARTS ARE ALL KAI PARTS. Specially when he is with Levana and is always being sarcastic. I love when in the wedding Levana is saying that she will love him or something like that and he snorts. SFDHSJAK
I agree. From the moment I started this series, Kai was one of my favorite characters. He added something you don't commonly see in stories - The government. When our main characters leave behind a mess, somebodies got to clean it up. Kai is doing his best to run a county, and I love him so damn much!
Book order for me would be
1.Cress (without a doubt)
2. Winter (it was just too good)
3.Cinder
4. Scarlet
Same :D
A lot of people liked Cress but I felt like it was good not great. I'm going to read Winter soon after finishing the Martian and I hope it's going to be amazing!!!
Order so far 1.Scarlet (Cause Wolf is bae)
2.Cinder (really intriguing and captivating)
3.Cress ( again many liked the character Cress the most but sometimes she was annoying for me)
My opinions may change :) I have no idea why I wrote this much on your comment HAHAHA
+Caitlin White Same!
+Caitlin White Scarlet annoyed me so much I only started to like her as a character in later books. I almost stopped reading the series because I was so turned off by the main character.
+Sophia June Me too XD scarlet annoyed me earlier in the series, but i started liking her later.
I freaking love Thorne, I'm really hoping Marissa writes a spin off series about him! XD
+xoannaox89 that would be amazing =D
yes it would. that would be like perfect
The Adventures of Carswell Thorne, Earths Hottest Pilot
Anyone else hoping for a Kai x Cinder wedding in Stars Above. And the rest of the stories of course.
Omg yassss!
YES
Marissa herself announced that there is to be a wedding. But it could be any wedding from the Rampion crew.
kai + cinder 5ever am i right
+Romandy Dimaranan omg Cress and Thorns. I hope lol
i love the part where cindee thinks kai is proposing and hes actually giving her her foot back. and that "then i realized this foot would probably fit an eight year old" comment
also when cinder is put on trial at kais wedding and she had to wait in a cell with pearl and adri. i laughed at that
One of my favorite parts
Winter was actually my favourite character in the whole thing; I just think she was so well written. Her final chapter with the ghost Ryu hit me hard
HOLY SPADES I LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH I CANT BREATHE-Okay I'm calm now (sort of). Remember when they were sneaking onto Kai's ship and Kai was like, "Can I get you some tea?" And the guy was like "I'll have a whiskey on the rocks" and everyone was like YUP THATS THORNE. I laughed SO HARD. And then at the end he was talking to Cress and he was like "Can I get you anything? A portscreen? A masseuse? A whiskey on the rocks?" And like everyone else is Lunar or Eastern Commonwealthian, and Thorne's just so FLIPPING AMERICAN. (If you can't tell, I love Thorne. Thorne is my fave. Thorne is mine don't touch him. I'll maybe share with Cress.) AND AT THE END CINDER GOT STABBED AND IT JUST CUT TO THAT SCENE WITH SCARLET AND THE WHOLE TIME I THOUGHT CINDER AND CRESS WERE DEAD AND IM LIKE WHAT THE HECK JUST HAPPENED???? Ahhh this book gave me all the feels. But I think I like Cress better. (I know, like if this book made me all cray, just imagine what Cress made me do. Yeah. You don't want to know.)
Oops that was really long. I just barely fit that into one comment.
FINALLY another Thorne Fangirl! I totally agree with everything. He's just so precious and sarcastic and cute and hilarious and him and cress is just (banshee screech) unmm he's mine btw no one can take him away from me (except cress of course) xD you know what, lets share him!!
Ember Lafonte don't worry u can have thorn, but kai is mine
I just finished this book like 18 minutes ago and officially it's the best saga I've ever read because takes all these clichés and punch them in the face.
CRESS AND THORNE ARE MY OTP.
THEY HAVE THE TITLE OVER ALL MY SHIPS. AND I SWEAR TO THE STARS I WAS CRYING EVERYTIME I THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO DIE. THANK YOU MARISSA FOR CHOOSING TO LET THEM LIVE
I really can't decide which couple I love the most but I do really like Scarlet and Wolf together. HOWEVER, I agree that the whole human flesh thing really should have been addressed. I saw someone on tumblr say something about Scarlet x Ran being little red riding hood and the wolf and Scarlet x Wolf being Beauty and the Beast. Therefore I was hoping that maybe the extra wolfiness would have been reversed but alas it did not and nothing was addressed.
I would like to add that I do know that scarlet and wolf are supposed to be the little red riding hood story but I still held out hope.
+Myranda Barton I thought that too, about Scarlet and Wolf being beauty and the beast. huh. lol
Your enactment of Cress being shy kills me 😂
I actually find the moment where kai was trying to stab Levana with a scissor quite funny 😂😂 is it just me?
Any Kiko shippers here?! (Keeney and Iko)
❤Kiko ❤❤❤
Yes!! I've been so disappointed when that too-handsome-to-be-a-jerk guard never changed his views over Iko.
+Romandy Dimaranan I was thinking the same thing. I was crossing my fingers.
yes I have thought of it every time they were together, I thought I was the only one
_Yes._
I honestly LOVED that Cinder kept track how many times her and Kai kissed.
Like..
OTP.
No, Winter's parents didn't teach her because her mother died in child birth and her father was killed by Levana when she was like 6. I'm I the only one that read Fairest before Winter?
ikr i wish she had a booktalk for Fairest
Don't forget that she was brought up by Levana who definitely wouldn't teach her that because it ruins all the fun when you try to murder your step-daughter and she refuses the candy because 'stepmother said I shouldn't take candy from strangers'
MOOOOOD
Am I the only one who thinks Jacin's name is Jace-in and not Jason? No? Just me? Okayy...
+Haleema Rafiq potato patato =P
+polandbananasBOOKS OMG CHRISTINE REPLIED TO ME 😭😭😭
I Alain also pronounce it as Jace-in hahaha
I pronounce it like you too :-)
SAAAMME
I NEED A KAI AND CINDER WEDDING NOW
Am I the only one who thought that Scarlet was sooooo good? My heart breaks every time people say that Scarlet was their least fave in the series. I'm also a really big fan of Scarlet and Wolf together even tho I agree with you on his hunger for human flesh.
Caitlin Thank god. I LOVE SCARLET AND WOLF AND THEY ARE MY OTP
I LOVE THEM TOOOO WOLFLET IS SO CUTE
I just loved Kai and Thorne talking while on their way back to earth. It was my favourite scene!
Omg yesss
Such a fantastic book! I listened to the audiobook and the narrator was just amazing doing all the characters voices, i even forgot that it was only her doing all the job.
+Thays Martins Oyakawa ahh that's great!!! i love when you find a good audio book!
Yess the cress Thorne make out scene was amazing
1. Cress + Winter
2. Scarlet
3. Cinder
I was a little disappointed at the whole turning Luna into a republic thing, but it was also a relief. I mean, the entire series builds up to the moment where she becomes Queen of Luna, that she is Princess Selena, the rightful heir to the throne. I was hoping for the entire book to see her as queen and then she just gives it up. But my relief came from the fact that she would become Empress--mostly because she was marrying Kai. I had for some reason expected her to become both, as Levana had planned for herself. It wouldn't have worked though, not if Kai and Cinder were in love. They wouldn't have been able to ever see each other. And when Cinder said that her friends all were going back to Earth, I hated that. I wanted them all to be together.
Also, in stars above, I heard that the wedding shown is Wolf x Scarlet. Though I love their relationships, it's still my least favourite among the couples.
I can't even think of a reason as to why Merissa Meyer chose them over Cinders wedding, or even Winter's. Cinder was the Protagonist, after all. Ever since Kai had met Cinder at her stand, we were all waiting for the moment when they would be married. Even though we know it happens, it needs to be written out. i NEED to read it. Also, Jacin and Winters wedding would be amazing to read as well. Though he could be a jerk sometimes, you knew he was keeping all his love stored for her and you could really feel the emotions he felt towards her. I absolutely adored their relationship. As I did Thorne and Cress'. They're so cute, and just an amazing couple. I would've really wanted to see their wedding to. Overall just wanted more scenes of them in love, as I want with Kai and Cinder. There aren't enough scenes, and will never be that show their cuteness. Wolf and Scarlet we're passionate, but they were missing that cuteness that the rest of the couples have.
I agree I thought Luna should have been a constitutional monarchy. That way the lunate could have a blood heir but still have representatives that hold the monarchy to a series of checks and balances. Also if they eventually did go to a republic, the change would be gradual rather than drastic.
Finally someone who shares the same thoughts as me. The whole book was building up to this one moment where Cinder becomes the queen of Luna, only for her to give up the throne. Kai said that being a queen was never Cinders thing, but I just wished we got to see that side of her throughout the books. All we saw is how Cinder was surprised to be princess Selene and then accepted the fact, she even made everyone believe in her. The whole population of Luna believed in her as their queen, and then she just gives it up like that. Isn't the Kai's nation a monarchy as well? It's not impossible. I wanted her to be a badass queen so badly.
Wait- I have to know: Am I the only one who shipped Iko/Kinney hardcore!?!
you are not alone !!
Yeeeees!
OMG I SHIPPED SO HARD!
SOO hard
OMG I thought I was the only one. I ship Iko and Kinney way too hard😂
My favorite books in order are Cress, Winter, Cinder and Scarlet. My favorite protagonist has to be Cress because she's a genius lol. Cress and Thorne is also my favorite relationship, because they have the cutest relationship ever besides Cinder and Kai.
I have never read a last book that's this good. A lot of them disappoints me, but not this. Winter is on point and I love it. This series is definitely one of my favorites!!
I love Scarlet and Winter's friendship though. 😂
How can you not love Wolf and Scarlet?! I feel like they are the couple with the biggest challenges to overcome. Even more than Kai and Cinder because of the nature of Wolf's mutation.
Poor baby, he really got the shit end of the stick but Scar sticks by him and isn't bothered by the things that were done to him! How can you not love that?! They are pretty solid and work on their relationship more than the other couples. They are my favorite couple, just in case it wasn't obvious, followed by Cress and Thorne...... I don't really dig Winter and Jacin as a couple.
I totally agree about the trouble Wolf has to have gone through after the end of the novel. That has to be an uphill battle for them.
I totally agree on the character development of Thorne! So good!!! Loved him so hard in this book!
Bri Gutierrez ikr?! I just love them so much!
My favorite part was when Thorne said he loved Cress😍
I love Thorne too and I loved so much his friendship with Cinder!
I felt like Scarlet was rude to Winter when they were escaping the castle. I wanted to slap her sometimes because of it.
+WhittBeyondMeasure right???
Well to be fair, Winter did keep her locked up in a cage...
+Saraline19 true
***** Good point. It's probably because she didn't want them to get caught
Um. I wanted to slap winter, not scarlet lol. I feel like scarlet spoke for me when she told jacin to "stop coddling her" (meaning winter). Yeah, I didn't really like winter all that much
I wanted there to be a epilouge, just to see how all the characters turned out. then I read that Marissa Meyer was coming out with a new book, Stars Above that has short stories of all the characters, and of course, a epilouge!!!!
Winters craziness is what makes her so endearing!!!❤️❤️
This is 18 minutes but it feels like 5. Awesome job Christine, as always!
"fairytale avengers". This is how I will be describing the series from now on.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS!!!! THANK YOU
+Lauren Himpelmann YAYY!! =D HOPE YOU ENJOY IT!
same
+Lauren Himpelmann same
+polandbananasBOOKS I'm trying to read Scarlett
Spoilers!!!!!
Did anyone else get super mad when Wolf got brainwashed or whatever like I was freaking out! I ship Scarlet and Wolf so much and when he was like Earthens have the sweetest flesh I was like HELL NAH WHY YOU DO THAT MARISSA????? Ugh I'm on page 584 and I'm so scared😁😁
+hrd03 Keep reading! It's gets better! Things happen, but it's just so good! You can get through it!
My Order:
Winter
Scarlet/Cress
Cinder (which is still absolutely amazing)
LOved this book:) I think my favorite part was the part where they were eating the cake, but it's so hard to choose:) So sad my favorite series of all time is now over :(
NO but he adorably messes everything up 😅 I love Wolf...
"Didn't your parents teach you to not take stuff from stranger?!"
She....she didn't have parents.😞
I just finished winter today and oh my god I SHUCKING LOVED IT. it was absolutely amazing and even though it was so long every single minute I spent reading it I loved. I think it was one of the best books I have ever read and will continue to be one of the best books I've ever read. I really loved winter and just everyone. I now am just like "WHAT DO I DO NOW?!" but luckily I have stars above so I can get a little more lunar chronicles before its all done.
I want more than anything for her to come out with stories of Thorne and Cress adventures!!!
My favorites in order
1.Cress
2.Winter
3.Scarlet
4.Cinder
I literally just finished the book and as soon as I wiped away my tears, I was like "I wonder what Christine had to say about it?"
I freaking love these books. I can't pick a favorite couple. They're all so cute and perfect and aahhhh I love them!
I cried of happiness every time Cress and Thorne kissed.. I'm the worst Cresswell trash ever...
Finally a booksplosion book I've read! Yes!
Omg!!! I have been anticipating your book talk ever since your good reads update! I love your book talks! Thanks!
+Chaise Jones YAY! HOPE YOU LIKE IT! =D
+polandbananasBOOKS Are we getting a Life and Death book talk? Ilysm
+polandbananasBOOKS I actually have the book but have not read it yet. I'm still reading Red Riding Hood. I'm actually excited to read it. What other books will you be talking about soon?
omg +polandbananasBOOKS that's exactly how i felt when I read "Winter." But i rlly hope in stars above they talk more about the ending, b/c we need to know about kai+cinder's wedding, thorne+cress in the rampion. Wolf+Scarlet on earth, and was it just me who shipped Iko+Sir kinney (i think that's how you spell it.) well the guard that was with Iko..... lol
I shipped them too! I was really hoping that Iko would find love either in Winter or Stars Above
Kate Pearson ikr that's what i said OwO
I SHIP IKO AND SIR KINNEY! omg, like I for sure thought they would kiss or something would happen between them.
Jennifer Ramirez ikrrr i wish if only....
+Saeeda The “Fangirl” Potterhead Haqani nope I'm shipping them so hard.. actually it was my only issue with this book having Iko which is my favourite character (big time) not have a person to love.. like whyyyy ???!!! i would so love to read a book about the aftermath of the story consisting of iko+sir kinney :3
1. Scarlet
2. Cress
3. Winter
4. Cinder
I love Scarlet... just me? Okay....
Luana Ferreira nah i love scarlet as well, its high up there under winter
At least I'm not alone 😂
Luana Ferreira
1. Winter
2. Cinder
3. Cress
4. Scarlet
I don't know why it seems everyone likes cinder least and it's not like I don't like scarlet I just like the others slightly better
Reneka Sampson I can't really explain it either. I guess it's just a matter of opinion.
Luana Ferreira
1. Cress
2. Winter
3. Cinder
4. Scarlet
I felt like Winter just barely had any enough "screen time"; i felt like she was just a side character. And her story arc is so boring compared to the others. Though I love her relationship with Scarlet.
And I never knew Winter was black until I ended the book.... Like imagined her like the usual snow white... Snow white skin and stuff..
Kai x Cinder
Is my favourite ship just just because, because umm... THEY ARE JUST TOO COOTE THEY ARE JUST TOO CUTEEE
I don't care if it's 2:00. in the morning and I have school tomorrow, when I saw that you posted this I was like EVERYTHING MUST STOP. Also you posted this on my birthday! Thanks for the present haha 😁
We had practically all the same favorite parts and just GAH I loved this book. I loved the way it ended but I need MORE. I agree that I would LOVE a "Throne and Cress Travel the World" short story 😍 This book had so many moments where I legitimately screamed at it and had to take a moment and others where I was on the verge of tears just cause I loved it so much. This series will forever hold a special place in my fangirl heart ❤
Are Jacin and a Winter your least favourite or Wolf or Scarlet?! I love wolf and scarlet!!
I love Wolflet !!!
Scarlet and Wolf
♡♡♡♡♡Scarlet & Wolf ♡♡♡♡♡
Wolf and scarlet is amazing
I love them aLL
This was easily my favorite in the series. Then Cress, Cinder, Scarlet. But really they were all fantastic.
The lunars remind me of the weird bug-vampire things from the Vampires of Venice episode of Doctor Who! 😊
LOL
I actually picture the female Lunas as the school girls!
You are my favourite TH-camr of like ever. Thank you for being awesome.
Winter needs to be a movie
Mermaid Sea Each book needs a movie!
Winter is my alltime favorite. Idk what it is but I LOVE her. I think it was how freaking kind she is, despite being crazy. When you're constantly hallucinating, protecting people and putting their lives before yours must be really difficult, but she managed it. Not only that, but she's also funny. I love the little jokes she cracks about being crazy, and I love how protective and dedicated people are to her. She's the type of person that could inspire loyalty in anyone and I love that.
Cress and Thorne are my fav!!!!!
I loved not only how it showed how hard it was to pull off the revolution (which made the end so satisfying) but showing how they needed to address the problems of running a country (that scene with Cinder holding her own in the cabinet meeting and Kai being all, "Yeah that's my girlfriend," was such an eff yeah moment) a lot of the time books gloss over that (it's revolution then maybe happy times epilogue) but Cinder and Kai having to deal with those issues and planning change made it feel well rounded and more realistic. Loved it!
Was anyone else really sad when Alpha Strom died???
Yes! I was irrationally sad because he existed for about 24 pages but I was upset, not gonna lie
+Belle Abernathy I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. There's just something about him. He was such a good leader. And I love the way he interacted with Scarlet and how him and the pack, as a whole, put so much importance in protecting Cinder. I JUST APPRECIATE HIM. AND WHEN HE DIED, I SOBBED MY HEART OUT. Sigh
yeppp very sad
"The Way you do finales: go big or go home." 😂 yaaaas, you said it girl!
The entire book I felt so SORRY for Levana. She is a unique villain in a way and I love her for it. I hate how everybody depsises her but she has gone through a lot. I am not saying she should be forgiven (she needed to die) but in my opinion, Channary was the villain of the entire series. She made Levana the person she is.
Yeah, she had an awful childhood, but then again, so did Cinder, Cress, and Wolf, but she took things away from the "bad childhood" and brought it onto the psychotic level.
I'm gonna sound like a crazy person, but I ADORED the moments with Levana. She is a wonderful villain and made this series so interesting. Her psychotic personality is what caused everything to start. She can get sassy sometimes and I love it.
I can't even! all the feels! I love cinder and kai, and Thorne and Cress! Literally my favorite book series of all time, and in my opinion the best book in the series. I wish it could have been like 300 pages longer! Love the video
Ugg am I the only one who likes Scarlet and Wolf together the best?
SERIOUSLY this book was everything I was hoping for plus more out of a conclusion, I was hooked from the very beginning! Cress is still my favorite book out of the series but this is right after! Cress and thornes relationship was the cutest thing in the world my two favorite characters they're absolutely adorable together!
I need to reread the book to say goodbye to the series 😭😭😭! and to remember everything!!!...
I really liked the scene when they hugged Cinder while they were torturing wolf's mom,,, it was REALLY SAD, and I felt bad for Cinder for everything happened to her, she never rests and everyone bully her but she kept fighting, the only "rest" she had when she passed out after she got away from the execution!,,,
she had gone through sooo much!
and Winter x Jacin were my least favorite characters, they were so annoying imo,,, and I don't understand why Scarlet take care of her, even if it was explained in the book 😆!!
I absolutely LOVED the scene where Torin and Kai reunite and Torin keeps acting like a worried mother. Am I the only one?
+Kate Pearson no i did too! =D
I SAW THE TITLE AND CAME TO WATCH BUT I HAVEN'T READ IT YET UGH
just finished reading the book. im so sad its over but so satisfied. you asked for my feedback so please dont hate! while cress and thorne are handsdown my favorite couple, and while you said winter made you upset, shes honestly my favorite character. I wish I had more of her. there were many times I had to put the book down and cry for her. she never cried for herself. being someone who deals with my own kind of crazy, she made me feel stronger and not so alone. I have my own jacin guard. often I feel like winter, who only feels sane around him. but felt she was burdening him, especially in the beginning. I really appreciate Marissa Meyer for giving my own little crazy princess. :) also have to say, she didn't want to be like levana, which is why she was crazy. I loved that part of her personality.
oh jeez I'm about to cry I can't believe that it's over D':
In my opinion, the series is literally PERFECT🙌🏼🙌🏼❤️💯😭 everything just fits into place and all the parts in the books that make me feel sad or mad are just their for a cause❤️❤️❤️
I've always imagined Thorne to look like Chris Pratt. Am I alone in this?
I thought I was the only one
You aren't the only one, friend :D
+thepastelrose I imagine him a Sam Claflin
I never considered that, but now that you brought it up, Sam Claflin would also be an awesome Thorne!!! :D
I imagine him as Matt Bomer...
I loved when thorn was saying that he had said I love you to 25 chicks. And cress was like “I don’t even know 25 people” laughed so hard😂😂
Scarlet and Wolf are my fave couple LOL
G-Rant you're not alone! 😂😍
I love the aftermath of cinder's trial scene!!(along with the scene itself, off course).
And the part where they exposed levana's face unglamoured.
I also love how amazing cinder did in the meeting at the end after starting out so timid and unsure of herself.
And there are soooo many other scenes!...this series has become one of my all time favourites.
(SPOILERS !!!) i really like scarlet and wolf together! and about the whole mutation thing, i thought it was fine. the strom guy/mutated wolves seemed saner than we thought, and scarlet IS his mate. we see that despite any horrific mutation, his loyalty lies with scarlet, and he can resist whatever he needs to if he has her.
UNPOPULAR OPINION TIME: i wish levana did get to know love. i wish that she was imprisoned, but cinder eventually cracked through her, and helped her. queen channary was nothing but evil to levana, and i don't know... her death seemed somehow wrong and sad to me. am i the only one who thinks that? i think i am.
This was an amazing series. All the characters were so well written, and I got major feels throughout the entire book.
Am I also he only one who a little trouble picturing the underground scenes in Luna? Also the ending for me was ok. I just wish I had a little more.
WINTER MADE ME CRY SO HARD I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS OVER
I'm in a mourning period; there is no Lunar Chronicles now. I mean, I have Fairest and Stars Above; but after that, what's next?
same. I feel so empty without it. just finished
There's gonna be a graphic novel about iko in January
Itsmelynsey I know!! I'm so excited honestly I can't waitt

I still need to read the graphic novels, but after that? nothing :(
Awesome booktalk!! I loved when Thorne told Cress his plan to become someone worthy of her. "So I figure, by the time you figure out how much I don't deserve you...I might kind of deserve you." SO CUTE. I also hope Iko ends up with that guard who she kept clashing with towards the end, that would be great haha.
1. Cress
2. Winter
3. Cinder
4. Scarlet (sorry Scar)
Winter is definitely my favorite of the series. I can't wait for the short story volume. I adored Iko and Cinder high-fiving Thorne was perhaps my favorite moment.
My favorite out of the series is Winter...favorite couple Thorne and Cress :-)
I loved the fact that there can be a revolution but the story is still sassy and funny. How they come up with ideas along the way when the things they had planned/kind of not planned didn't go their way. One of my worst moments was the wedding when Kai attacks Levana and she puts on a glamour of Cinder. I was really scared that it actually was Levana manipulating Cinder to take the glamour of Levana so that Kai would have stabbed Cinder.
Thanks for the booktalk, it was great to relive some of the magical and hilarious moments of Winter. :)
am i the only one that think this book should have an epilogue like the one in harry potter so we can just see how it all worked out in the end like i think iko is going to get to gather with that guard she keeps running into or am i just crazy
Marissa Meyer is writing a collection of nine short stories (5 never released) called Stars Above: A Lunar Chronicles Collection. It comes out February 2 2016. The stories are called The Little Android, Glitches, The Queen's Army, Carswell's Guide to Being Lucky, The Keeper, After Sunshine Passes By, The Princess and the Guard, The Mechanic, and Something Old, Something New. The Little Android has a new cast of characters, Something Old Something New is an epilogue of Winter about the "wedding of the century" (doesn't say who's) and all the others are prequels. All my info is from Goodreads so blame them if I got something wrong lol
+Emily Ostmeyer will they be published into a physical book or?? Sorry
+Stephanie Raine I'm pretty sure it's going to be both... it's like 350 pages total
You should read Fairest and Stars Above if you haven't yet. Fairest is a sort of prequel about Queen Levanna. Stars above is a collection of short stories in the universe.
I love Wolf!!!

AH YES FINALLY YOUR REVIEW IS HERE!!! I think that my favorite order goes: Winter, Cress, Cinder, and then Scarlet. But I just really LOVED this series so much. And Winter was definitely one of the best conclusions to a series in a long time. So well written. UGH Thorne and Cress, Cinder and Kai, Iko, I literally love this series.
