My book is Winter by Marissa Meyer. This book is science fiction. I know this because the plot revolves around a civilization on Luna, (the moon) and constant space traveling. This book is the fourth and final book in the Lunar Chronicles series. Winter the main character has been living on Luna her whole life with her evil stepmother, Queen Levana. Winter's real mother died when she was just a baby, and when her father remarried, it was the Queen. After her father's death, Levana treated Winter like garbage. Winter was beautiful. Everyone in the city of Artemesia on Luna used their gift which was glamour, to make themselves appear beautiful. Glamour gets rid of all a person's flaws and turns them into a perfect version of themselves. The problem is that nobody's perfect. Winter was the only one besides servants and guards who didn't, but she was still the most beautiful, and this was something Levana could not handle. Levana did everything up to dragging a knife down her cheek leaving three big scars to ordering Winters best friend, a guard, to kill her. Now I know what your thinking, isn't this kind of like "Snow White"? The answer is yes, but a whole lot better. Levana was definitely a maniac, but she wasn't completely to blame. As a child, Levana was tortured by her older sister, Queen Channary. Channary used to force Levana to lie down on burning coals, and after she died, Levana took all her anger out on others. Winter and Jacin have been friends since before they could walk, but their relationship turned into something new over time. Jacin, who is just a guard is afraid to pursue anything with Winter so he pushes her away. Winter, on the other hand, is the exact opposite. When Winter discovers that her step-cousin, Selene, who is the rightful heir to the throne is alive, she realizes that there is hope for Luna. Selene who goes by Cinder is only alive because Levana's plans to kill her as a child failed. Cinder starts a revolution, and Winter ends up being right there beside her to help her free the people of Earth and Luna from Levana' s evil reign.
I absolutely love this book. All of the books in the series are amazing, but this one is the best because this book has all the characters since the first book in the series which is Cinder. This book has action, humor, and a little bit of romance. This book perfectly completes this amazing series. This book will make you laugh, cry, and smile like crazy. Marissa Meyer does an amazing job explaining what's happening that the reader can visualize everything. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves Disney because this is an amazing spin-off of the classic Snow White. I have read this book multiple times, and trust me when I say, it never gets old.
