The #1 New York Times Bestselling Series!

Princess Winter is admired by the Lunar people for her grace and kindness, and despite the scars that mar her face, her beauty is said to be even more breathtaking than that of her stepmother, Queen Levana.

Winter despises her stepmother, and knows Levana won't approve of her feelings for her childhood friend--the handsome palace guard, Jacin. But Winter isn't as weak as Levana believes her to be and she's been undermining her stepmother's wishes for years. Together with the cyborg mechanic, Cinder, and her allies, Winter might even have the power to launch a revolution and win a war that's been raging for far too long.

Can Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, and Winter defeat Levana and find their happily ever afters? Fans will not want to miss this thrilling conclusion to Marissa Meyer's national bestselling Lunar Chronicles series.

Critic reviews

"Reader Soler is one of those magical voice actors who can create a seemingly endless supply of memorable voices. Here, she offers an appropriately sweet, fluttery Snow White-esque voice for Winter; a deliciously purring, cooing "popular mean girl" voice for Queen Levana; a French accent for Jacinl and many, many more. Even background characters who appear for just a line or two get distinctive voices, such as an Australian-accented guest at the wedding banquet. Soler's pacing is excellent, and she skillfully navigates listeners through Meyer's 23-hour story." -Publishers Weekly

"Narrator Soler returns to deliver an epic performance. She continues to enrapture listeners as she takes on the vocal stylings of 10 main characters and a plethora of secondary voices. She breathes personality into each while maintaining distinctions among the voices with a variety of pitches and accents, including French, Australian, and Irish. Her whimsical portrayal of Winter as seemingly vague and almost fluttery is a perfect contrast to the flawlessly venomous Queen Levana. Solar ramps up the pace to bring listeners to the edge of their seats in a thrilling escape scene and just as expertly slows it down for the romantic interludes. Soler’s narration helps bring this epic series to a wonderfully engaging conclusion." -Booklist

love it

The narrator for this book was amazing. I loved the accents and different voices she did for the characters. The story itself was nothing short of flawless. A fitting ending to the series with all characters getting their time. Loved getting to know princess Winter and hearing her story and her trials. The epic battle between Levana and Cinder was awesome. All in all I am intensely satisfied with this series and the last book Winter.

Great End To A Great Series

One of my favorite book series ever! A must read! I was sad it had to come to an end.

Incredible narrator

Rebecca Soler is an insanely talented narrator - she has subtle differences in each character and is uniquely capable of portraying humor in a way so many narrators lack.The story is very entertaining and a great YA read but she really brings it to life.

A Teenage Thriller/Romance Story

My granddaughter loves the series of Marissa Meyer. I decided to know why....I was quite taken by the futuristic cities and characters...War woven in with teen romance...SUPER HEROES...Reminded me a little bit of Star Wars.... FUN BOOK! Audible 20

didn't want it to end

honestly I was sad at the end because I didn't want the book to end and I wanted to see the future for every one. I felt so real with the narrator and her voices, I love this book and series!!!!!!!!!

awesome story and fantastic narrator

the story in and of itself is a great story. I really appreciate the intricacies of each fairytale coming together. but I LOVED the narrator and how she really makes the story come to life! she really captures the swagger of the captain, the gruffness of Wolf, etc perfectly. I loved it!!!!

Loved it!

I loved this series so much and I'm so sad I'm done! I loved the character development and world building, and every single book was strong. ugh! Someone tell me what to read next because I'll be grieving this one for a while.

Amazing

With each new book, the series gets better and better. How the characters have grown is beautiful. Winter and Jacin work perfect together and apart. The ending is so bittersweet for me because its the end but it did end perfectly. I've reread the series multiple times and when I reach this book, I find it hard to pick up but put down at the same time, not wanting for it to end. I love this series so much that I plan it get a quote from this book tattooed on me soon.

A Reverse Fairytale...

of a Butch Cinderella aiming to reclaim her kingdom and save her Metrosexual Mansel in Distress from the Evil Contol Freak Queen.
I had to keep a bucket beside me 4 the Emo Drama Queens, both Male and female when they overdid it, but it had a certain charm that kept me listening throughout the entire series and wanting more.
