Fairy Tale Retellings! discussion

Here you can discuss Winter by Marissa Meyer, a Snow White retelling! Winter is the last book of the Lunar Chronicles.
What do you think of this book? Do you think it was a good conclusion to the series? Who is your favourite character/couple?

Sometimes I'm afraid to read the last book of the series because it doesn't do the other books in the series justice. But that wasn't this case here! I loved this book and it also did an amazing job with corporations the elements of Snow White into it.

I'm honestly not sure which couple I like best. It'd be between Kai and Cinder or Scarlet and Wolf.

I haven't read any of them yet but would like to.

Have access to the two first ones in Swedish but since the original language is English and I know English, then I want to read them in ...English. lol!
You feel me?

When you translates from one language to another, you translate the meaning of it, and you lose the author's own style and prose.

Definitely feel ya bro. I've read some books in my second language as well and it's just not the same as the untranslated version. Unless the translator's the author or something haha.

Yes, this was one of the rare cases where the series got better from book to book rather than getting worse. It's always nice to have a change like that :D

You're guys are making me really want to read this series.

A series that ends well...that's right up my alley. lol

Too right you are. : )

Hopefully you'll get to read it one day! I like this series because it's clean, packed out adventure, has great world building, character development and lots of ships hehe. :)

Yeah, hope so too. :)
Been checking the series out on Amazons. : )

Yay, I'll be sure to let you know if I hear of a sale.

By the way, did you see the July BotM? :D

Yeah I saw it and will vote today. I just cannot decide, lol. I've narrowed it down to 2...I think. :)

Thanks : ) That series seemed to be full price right now. Full price is ok if you know you love the book. But I'll wait a little. : )

I'm excited for when you get to them, Fridey! I loved that series, as well. I think my favorite was Cress, because it was my favorite melding of fairy tale/new take, but Winter was an excellent wrap-up!

Thanks for the tip : ) I'm super curious now. Feels like I'm the only one who hasn't read them, hehe.

Just like I'm one of the last ones on earth that haven't seen Game of Thrones.

I agree!

Haha! I both love and hate being in that position! On one hand, I get to things when I get to them, and sometimes I put things off that I'll really love!

I've also found, though, that no matter how much the world shouts about something, sometimes I have to wait for myself to catch up in order to really enjoy it.

Yeah, exactly. I fully understand this, lol. : )

I haven't watched Game of Thrones either! Lol, that makes the two of us. I don't plan to though. Oh, I haven't read Hunger Games either. Don't kill me. 😂

lol, no way!

I thought the whole world watched Game of thrones, hehe. : )

We're a rare lot (haven't read nor seen hunger games either).

Woooww We're kindred spirits LOL. I haven't read Harry Potter either. What about you? If you haven't read Harry Potter either 😂

LOL, nope haven't read Harry Potter. I dunno, just haven't been interested (shrugging).

We surely are Kindred spirits, lol. : )

Oh my god. You actually haven't. That confirms it; we're definitely kindred spirits haha. :D

Haha! : )

Apparently, it's on IMDBTV with subtitles-free with ads!

Ohh I see! Thank you so much for letting me know. :)
