Winter

"The mirror answered: "You, my queen, are fair; it's true.
But the young queen is far more fair than you"
Marissa Meyer
Winter

The fourth installment of the Lunar Chronicles was amazing. In it Winter, Cress, and Scarlet carry out their final plan to return their cyborg friend Cinder to the throne of Luna, and it did not disappoint. Full of action, plots, and YA angsty romance (full of "I thought you were deads" and passionate kisses after declarations of love), this book was extremely entertaining and a wonderful read all the way through.

For those of you who don't know about this series and enjoy YA let me explain what these are about. The Lunar Chronicles are a wonderful steampunk retelling of the fairy tales Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, and Snow White. These are all mixed together with four strong female leads (though they do lend themselves to stereo type), a evil queen who really needs to see a shrink, a bioengineered plague, and a war between the moon and Earth and you have some wonderful fantasy that is extremely entertaining. If you liked the Hunger Games and Divergent, you should definitely check these out.
