Winter (the Lunar Chronicles #4), by Marissa Meyer, 824 pages
Finally- a conclusion to The Lunar Chronicles! Princess Winter, the scarred step-daughter of the evil Queen Levana, is viewed as such a threat to the throne that the Queen finally orders her murdered. I think we know the story of Snow White enough to know how that one plays out. But in addition to that storyline, we have Cinder, the cyborg-mechanic-secret-lost-princess, rallying the planet for a revolution to overthrow Levana; Prince Kai, in love with Cinder but marrying Levana out of duty to Planet Earth; Scarlet and Wolf, who never seem to get a break; Cress and Thorne, who make me roll my eyes to a painful degree with the amount of non-communication they seem to do; and the people of Luna, who get slightly more character development than they did in previous books (but it's still not alot). This book wasn't life-changing, but there was a theme throughout the book that really spoke to me: "Broken isn't the same as unfixable." I think that represents all of the characters and the storyline pretty well.
