"Her Royal Majesty, Queen Selene Channary Jannali Blackburn of Luna. She wondered if it was all right for her to ask that everyone just call her Cinder"
This was beautiful. What a beautiful series. I may or not be shedding some tears.
I'm so sad this is over. This last book was amazing and everything I could ask for, it was just like reading a fairytale (which now that I think about it, it is technically a fairytale... idk).
From the first book, Cinder had me hooked right around her mechanic little finger. I loveeeed the whole concept of the series, the characters, the plot. Retellings is one of my favorite things, and I'm sure I can say this series is now one of my ultimate favoritessss.
Even though Winter didn't beat some previous installments like the perfection of Cress or even Cinder, it came really really close. Trust me. Winter is the final installment of the series, and for having such a weight on its shoulders, I think it did really fine. The ending wrapped up everything, I personally didn't feel like it left me with some questions unanswered and it left me intrigued all throughout the book. Yeah, It kind of drag a little at the beginning but the rest of the book made it up for it.
At the beginning of Winter , we follow the storyline of, well, Princess Winter; The stepdaughter of the vicious (and quite psychotic) Queen Levana. Winter is described as incredibly naturally beautiful, hence why Levana despises her and envies her so much. She also retains herself from using her lunar power, which led her to have this kind of mental instability. Good thing she has Jacin, her guard and best friend (and who she is secretly in love with) to help her and take care of her. Cute af. Because this was the last book and it had to include the other characters and relate their storylines, the book as not solely Winter and her story. Instead, Marissa Meyer did her part of the Snow White retelling while relating the other storyline. Amazing. Meanwhile, Cinder and the rest of the crew (but Scarlet who is still being held captive in Luna) are still aboard of the Rampion with Kai. Their plan is to go to Luna and start a revolution. It has a high peak of failure. But they do not give up, of course. The rest I can not tell you, because I do not like spoilers. But you can guess what happened next.
10/10 would recommend.
"And they all lived happily to the end of their days."
5 amazing stars for: Cinder's courage, Cress's skills, Scarlet's fierceness, Winter's kindness, THORNE AND CRESS THOUGH, Them eating fucking homemade lemon pie at the end like a big fucking family (that got me in tears man), KAI AND CINDER !!!, That ending man!! BEAUTIFUL, The badassery, overall ALL THE PLOT YO, I LOVE THIS SERIES, BYE. DONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN

Fucking amazing masterpiece.
Wow, this booAfter twenty seven years, I'm finally writing a review for this book, and i srsly need to say this is a ...
Fucking amazing masterpiece.
Wow, this book was mind blowing. It is incredibly written and it has so many unique plots I have never really seen before and I found myself liking it a hell LOT.
This is my first book from Victoria Schwab, and all I can say is wow. She is surely an amazing writer and her plots are surely unique af and wow its amazing. And I'm like incredibly pumped to read Vicious BUT why is it so expensive in hardcover I DONT GET IT.
Ok, now talking about the real shit now, Kell is a traveler, (one of the lasts btw) which means he can travel between the different or parallel LONDONS. Amazing.
There are 3 Londons, and once there were 4. Kell is from Red London, which srsly looks like a gr8 place to live in. There is Grey London which I guess is basically real London the one with no magic at all, dull af. And there is White London which is ruthless and starving, reigned by the most evilest twins ever, magic surely has a dark shade.
Ok my Thoughts; I loved Kell, he was different and flawed and doesn't really make the best decisions which makes him a lil more realistic. His powers are amazing and sometimes really conusing but wow V. E. Schwab really changed my perspective I had on Magic. Uh-uh, Magic here is not like in Harry Potter or something, in here, Magic either consumes you or leaves you. There is supposed to be a balance, but Magic is corrupt and likes to more in the dark side. Its amazing, I loved this twist.
Also the different spells, and the history over all in this world was real good and interesting i really would like to know moreee.
Delilah, uhhh, that fierce bitch. She is also amazing and like any female character I've read before, and YO she is a pirate can it get more amazing from that!???
Rhyy, baby Rhyyy, he has such a place in my heart.
Holland, god he was such a mystrious character i really really really do hope his storyline aint over.
And probs the best and most wicked thing about this book were the Twins, oh lorddddd, those were the most sadistic villains I've ever read and I found myself loving how they were built they were flawlessly written and wow.
This book is amazing in so many levels, and I've decided I need more V.E Schwab in my life.
5 amazing stars to incredible Kell, his multiple coats, the brave and fierceful Delilah Bard, Rhy's Gayness and Rhy's amazing personality, how AMAZING magic is portrayed, them evil TWINS BRO, those 3 red londonss, amazing world building, fantastic OVERALL. ...more
This novella from the Throne of Glass series was actually good.
It was fast and there wasn't much of a big plot but i actually enjoyed it!
We get to seThis novella from the Throne of Glass series was actually good.
It was fast and there wasn't much of a big plot but i actually enjoyed it!
We get to see Celeana when she was still working for Arobbyn, (or however his name is spelled) and sixteen freaking years old!
This small novella was indeed quick, but it was what I was looking for in a Throne of Glass Novella tbh, all I wanted was to see how was Celeana as an Assasin and person before all the Endovier thing happened, and it was alright!
Btw, im reading all of these novellas bc im taking a kind of break of the ACTUAL series, bc my mind is exhausted. Not in the bad way, at all. I finished Crown of Midnight like a month ago, and I still can't get over how great and amazing it was tbh. And people are aaying Heir of Fire is even better and my mind can't handle such amazingness together. Too much feels.
I love this series and this world so much it physically pains me, yes thank you. ...more
"The Maddest Show on Earth always started at six o'clock. It also ended at six o'clock. Any time in between was, you guessed it, six o'clock."
"The Maddest Show on Earth always started at six o'clock. It also ended at six o'clock. Any time in between was, you guessed it, six o'clock."
What a mad, mad, world. My mind is blown.
This book was amazing and everything I could ask for in this magnificent third installment of this maddening series.
God, where do I even start!?
Since page one, I was deeply intrigued and anxiously excited to know where this book was going. I was not dissapointed, like at all.
I've always wondered where the Mad Hatter was hiding in this series as it is a famous and well known character in the Alice In Wonderland storyline, I was thrilled to finally see him in this book.
The Mad Hatter sets loose a white rabbit, with a ticking bomb inside of it, on the streets of London, after what he called The Maddest Trick Of All Time on the Six O'clock Circus.
After last week's Muffin Man, our favorite mad people, Alice Wonder and Doctor Carter Pillar, are are it again now trying to catch the bombing-rabbitbefore it, well, bombs.
They are set towards a trail of clues to find the rabbit before its too late but in the way, Alice will find the truth of her mysterious past, the truth of the Wonderland Wars, and maybe a way to stop the maddening Queen of England destroy humanity.
This book was insane, and brilliant and so very intense. I loved how this series is going, I'm so in love.
This is creative and mad beautiful, I need more people to notice this series and read them! they are AMAZING, probably one of my top 3 faves, is2g.
Ok my thoughts; Even though this book is actually and sadly real short, the story doesn't seem rushed and goes into a well fast-paced writing that keeps you turning the pages non-stop. The writing overall is mysterious and hilarious, the one that keeps you entertained.
I'm also impressed at how well this book was thought through, this must have took some serious hours of thinking and research to come up with all of this. Unless he's insane, obviously. I'm jk. No, but seriously, Cameron Jace is brilliant and I really do value probs all the hours he took on research to make the story more interesting and believable so that's a great praise for you, my friend!
Moving on, the plot of this omg. This book took such a more twisted turn to the overall storyline of this series which is saying much comparing it to the two other books. And I can proudly say I'm loving it.
Some of the things revealed are so heartbreaking and unbelievable I found myself crying at it, like tbh.
Alice, is such a strong character compared to how she was in the first book. She has grown herself to this insanity inside herself, and Its quite calming for her I guess.
Poor Alice also found herself not knowing really what is real and what is not and I've truly come to thinking that it must be real hard feeling that way, being in an actual fight with you own mind should be really mind breaking, no pun intended. She also unravels new secrets that are equally as shocking and unbelievable, like really i didn't know if I should laugh or cry at the irony. (Not laugh in a mocking way, for godsake)
But as in parts was twisted and confusing, this series always manages to make me laugh and it did. I love how Alice has come like 100% done with all of this shit she is like being a sassy bitch and I love her.
"You are saying you are pushing my imagination to the limits until I won't be able to imagine anymore. Right? And that only then I will be forced to retreat back to reality. Is that how you treat all of your patients? Because I don't think I've ever heard about this." "It's a scientific process," His rocking chair creaks againsts the floor. "We call it the Rabbit Hole" "You're kidding me right?"
I died laughing, lmao. Alice can't handle the irony, I feel you homie.
Moving on, I'll like to add like the Pillar wasn't really as involved in this book, and it kinda frustrated me bc I love him and his sassy remarks, but it was also great seeing Alice unraveling answers and shit by herself. Yas.
Omg, Alice also went to her home, for some clues obviously. But we finally get an inside on her two sister, Lorina and Edith, and oh god I was so confused + a None Fu fight worth reading + plot twists.
+ We met, the March Hare, yay! Whom is nuts, obviously. And is like in this super high tec asylum. But he is really great, I really look forward to see more of him.
+ The Queen and Duchess, Margaret Kent, are organizing and Event, no one knows about + the Queen obliges the Duchess to kiss her hand + The Queen sent a flamingo to the asylum. Real gr8.
Omg, the ending. I don't know why but the ending are always my favorite part of every book, and if an ending was bad i literally always give it -1 star in rating sorry.
But this ending, omg this ending, didn't disappoint AT ALL. I'm brave to say It was even better than the first or second's book endings.
It was full of answers, that lead us to more questions, and madness, and jump scares, and kickass, and tiger lilies, and Alice's Syndrome, and confusion, and plot twists !! It messes up with your mind, I like to say. You'll have a very new perspective of the Wonderland Wars at the end of this book. And on EVERY character, I'd like to add.
Gosh, this ending was SO intense and explosive. I wasn't expecting NONE of what we got when I read it, I needed to re-read it a couple of times bc it was all too much too handle. So many plot twists and turns and omg. My mind is really exhausted. Def a must need.
Overall, this book was amazing, and maybe slightly better than the second one. Ok, when I read the first one I thought it was amazing and like anything I had read before and thats why I read the second one, which I finished and thought was much better than the first one and I was really surprised but then I read this one, and this just KICKASS. Even though the three books I love them unconditionally, I need to remark this series goes better and better.
If you haven't read this, you should, like RIGHT NOW.
Beware of who you trust and your own mind!
"I am mad, mad girl in a mad, mad world, it's not a bad, bad thing if I am crazy."
this book got me like OMG OMG OMG all throughout. im so not lying.
My queen Sarah J Maas has done it again in her new fantHOLY JESUS CHRIST OF ABOVE.
this book got me like OMG OMG OMG all throughout. im so not lying.
My queen Sarah J Maas has done it again in her new fantasy series A Court Of Thorns And Roses.
Oh lordd, where do I even start??
This book got me hooked since page one, the introduction overall got me wrapped around its finger it was GREAT.
Feyre is our main character and i can't really decide if i liked her at the end or not but i think i doo, she is fierce and brave and a huntress and badass (nobody can compare to the baddest bitch celeana sardothien but she's ummmm going somewhere) Feyre's family live in a very very small cottage with her two sisters and her father which is a little too unstable to work and her two spoiled sisters Nesta and Elain, which of course help any less. So basically our poor little Feyre is obligated to hunt for food and money.
So, I don't want to spoil much so I will just let you all my thoughts.
I didn't know what to expect when I went into this magical and fantastical story, but it wasn't what I expected TBH.
I actually thought her captor will be wicked and cruel and will treat her badly, (because well, he captured her for killing his friend??????) but instead I get Feyre been handed over in a silver platter to the mansion of a High Fae. And for worse, he even treats her GREAT. Feyre has all this dresses and new clothes and so much food and shit and I was there confused as hell because why was this even happening, it didn't look real at all. I think this was one of my main struggles with this book because we (feyre and us) had SOO MANY questions and NOBODY gave them to us it was really actually veryy annoying at first but BAH IT WAS WORT IT, ALL OUR QUESTIONS WERE ANSWERED ANDD WOWOW PLOT TWIST MUCH !!!
Besides those, mysterious and confusing parts, the overall world and storyline was great and I LOVE ITT.
Owww, the characters, Tamlin, our dear Tamlin, was a bit serious and shit but he made me steamy i NEED TO ADMIT.
Our homeboy Lucien, its the best of the best, a little snake at first (understandable) but his personality is great and ginger af i luv him so much my baby.
Alis, sorry you annoyed the fuck out of me peace and blessings.
Rhysand, MY BABY Rhysand, He was suchh a mysterious and fucking great (and HOT AF) character i cryyyyy, he is my baby im in love, the plot twists at the end omg i love him. I need to see so muhch more of him. (btw i add him to my list of the boys with dark hair and blue eyes with sassy personality that have ruined my life)
Amarantha, ohhhhh can't even talk about her but she is truly wicked (btw who else had imagined her with black hair instead of redd at first??? was I the only one???)
And all the other High Lords of the other Courts that are hot af, you have a place in my heart.
In conclusion, This book is fucking great and its worth it to read till the end I SWEAR, don't quit reading you'll regret it.
This book is so high fantasy i want more, like rn.
From now on i can proudly say queen sarah j maas so has a place in heaven for doing so godly series, what IS YOUR SECRET.
UPDATE JAN/3: WHEN IS THE THIRD BOOK COMING AND IF THEN CAN I HAVE AN ARC THIS IS LITERALLY MY FAVORITE SERIES I CANT WAIT
This book has gotten me insUPDATE JAN/3: WHEN IS THE THIRD BOOK COMING AND IF THEN CAN I HAVE AN ARC THIS IS LITERALLY MY FAVORITE SERIES I CANT WAIT
This book has gotten me insane... Quite literally.
I found myself loving this book & this series so fucking much its insane. Pun intended.
This book has given me another point of view of this mad world and I like it, and it also combines Alice in Wonderland badass mode its great!!
This series is unlike any series I've read before. I quite consider it a mystery, as you actually never know how to differ between reality and what's not because well its a mad book. I also found myself liking this feeling, that you never know whats going to happen until it happens. There's no way you can possibly discover how this series its going to end, its so fucking unexpected and i love it !
This book answered many questions from the first book but also let us many unanswered questions.
I think I don't have any altercations with this series, its fast paced, entertaining, kick ass, brilliant storyline. What more can you ask for????
Btw, this book is def the best of the series, by now.
I can't describe how much I love this book tbh, def one of my favorites from now on. I'll re-read it everyday.
So basically, I loves this book, like a hell lot. It was brilliant and fast and mysterious and bloodyAfter reading this I'm questioning my own sanity.
So basically, I loves this book, like a hell lot. It was brilliant and fast and mysterious and bloody and insane and kickass and perfect.
All I look for in a book, is in this tbh.
This is an Alice In Wonderland retelling and wow its FUCKING GREAT.
I lovw the plot holes, strangely, and the mysterious vibee from all of it, differing in between what is real and what is not. I like it, i don't even know why.
Maybe because im a sucker for mystery, maybe.
Sooo basically if you like fairytake retellings and mystery and ...more
I read this in less than 24 hours, and I don't regret any bit of it. This book was fast-paced and it gave us tons of information about how Dorothy becI read this in less than 24 hours, and I don't regret any bit of it. This book was fast-paced and it gave us tons of information about how Dorothy became Wicked, and wow it was done beautifully. To the part where it starts where she is complaining about her dull life in old town Kansas, to her sixteenth birthday chaos party. Yeah, Dorothy is annoying and self conceited but that makes the book even better, I love how Dorothy becomes wicked and how she teaches herself to do magic. And wow, I really liked the whole plot of the story and I can't wait to read The Witch Must Burn.
Definitely a must read before or after you read Dorothy Must Die. And If you haven't given this series a try because of the author's speculations, i think you really should ignore that and focus on the actual content. Enjoy the Wonderfullness of Oz!...more
Really, really creepy were Levana's thoughts omg, she is some twisted woman.
But overall, it wa(more like 3.5 stars rating hah)
Wow, this was intense.
Really, really creepy were Levana's thoughts omg, she is some twisted woman.
But overall, it was good, and I think it ties with the real series and I am like so excited to read winter now, I CANT.
I mean, I enjoyed it but some parts were just too creepy and I had to quit reading for a bit lmao but It was good, I'm glad I got to know young Levana.
UPDATE#3: I'VE READ IT AND ITS ACTUALLY REAL GOOD SO I'LL LEAVE YOU WITH A LIL REVIEW LMAO.
Ok, ok, alright. This book was so much smaller than DorothUPDATE#3: I'VE READ IT AND ITS ACTUALLY REAL GOOD SO I'LL LEAVE YOU WITH A LIL REVIEW LMAO.
Ok, ok, alright. This book was so much smaller than Dorothy Must Die, and of course Dorothy Must Die was slightly better, but it isn't THAT AS a disappointment like people say it is. I mean yeah, it was short and kinda rushed. But can we say CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT??
God, Amy's character development was actually real interesting in this book. omg, and unlike some people i think I loved it. I was unsure at first and at some parts, as I was like guurl, what even are you doing?! But then I understood what the author was going with it. And y'all need to admit it was actually unique.
So, Amy is neither good nor bad in this book. And that's what I like. She doesn't always make the right decisions and sometimes she screws up real bad, but she keeps fighting bc she is challenging HERSELF. And also its quite realistic as no people are completely on the good side or in the wicked side, and this just prooves it.
I don't know about y'all, but this sure happens to me; when I'm reading a book or something and this character is having a fight and has a chance to kill the creature or something real fiercely and they are blinded by rage, I'm on the back like "YAS GIRL YOU GO, GO BEST FRIEND THAT'S MY BEST FRIEND THAT'S MY BESTFRIEND RIP HIS ASS APART" And I'm like 100% on their side, but when a thought comes to their head like "No, this is not good." I'm left like disappointed ya know? Idk, every character needs a wicked and a good side, a balance. Not always being a super goodie goodie "I put everyone before myself" Idk, its weird, and I know it shouldn't be like that or idk, but what I'm trying to say is that is quite interesting Amy has a wicked side, and actually shows it ya know?
Lmao, I don't even know if it just happens to me, i think it does. Sorry, ignore that.
But either way, final thoughts: I was highly entertained with this book, I mean it might not be the best written and best paced book of them all. But it kept me turning the pages so that counts, I guess.
Also, the plot in this book wasn't really written?? I mean I don't have any idea where the plot is going or what EVEN is the plot, there's still SO MANY questions and they just keep bringing more and more without answers. But at least It kept me entertained. And I'm talking about me laughing out loud and biting my fingernails whenever i read something. I swear.
And finally, the ending. I srsly needed to re-read the ending like 4 times. Is2g. It was all thrown at us like a rock, and omg, what EVEN. God, still, I can't even understand it.
Anyways, I overall enjoyed it, its not like its unbearable, and I read it in one seating so yeah;
4 real wicked stars toAmy's wickedness and fierceness, to Dorothy Gale, To Glinda The Good, Mombi, Queen Lulu, Oz, The Wizard, That Ending, For the laughs & the overall enjoyment.
(4 stars probs just for the last 100 pages) (Oh look, just like Dorothy Must Die) (The Endings, man, The Endings) (Is it bad all my faves were the wicked ones?? omg)
-1 stars to Nox, that intro, Pete, Ozma, Nox, Ollie, Wingless Ones, Nox, Those Rainbows Shits and did I say Nox?
UPDATE#2: its finally out and im pumped to read this WOO.
UPDATE#1:
I have mixed feelings about reading this because all of the drama surrounding the author, but I've came to a conclusion that I actually read a book for its content not if the author is good or bad.
Even though it does actually counts if the author if the author misbehaves, does it really matter? First of all, It wasn't even HER deal she just like agreed to the other author's idea. By the way, that doesn't mean that I also agree because I completely don't, I think it is foolish and unreasonable.
But also, you all are judging her in one single opinion she had, and completely ignoring her actual writing skills (which is why im here for), this is her book and it doesn't matter what kind of publicist she has or her life besides it, because I couldn't care less.But also that's everyones deal if they want to support the author as an AUTHOR or a series as a SERIES, see the difference.
I like to think, that's why we all are here for, the actual content. We rate a book for its content not the author, we read a book for its content not for the author, so I don't see the logic of people hating in this book before even reading it.
But at the end of the day, every person is different and can see this situation different, some people might think the author's personality and ideals are more important than the actual book, and thats alright.
I'm just stating my opinion and saying that i would read this book, because I truly enjoyed the first one and I have no reasons to not keep reading the series. ...more
