Waiting on Wednesday # 7: Winter by Marissa Meyer

Waiting on Wednesday is an original weekly feature created at Breaking the Spine. The idea is that each week you make a post that spotlights upcoming releases that you're eagerly anticipating. You can find out more about this feature here.

This week I am deciding to spotlight:

WINTER BY MARISSA MEYER

When Princess Winter was thirteen, the rumor around the Lunar court was that her glamour would soon be even more breathtaking than that of her stepmother, Queen Levana. In a fit of jealousy, Levana disfigured Winter. Four years later, Winter has sworn off the use of her glamour altogether. Despite her scars, Winter’s natural beauty, her grace, and her gentleness are winning admiration from the Lunar people that no amount of mind-control could achieve.

Winter despises her stepmother, but has never dreamed of standing up to her. That is, until she realizes that she may be the only one with the power to confront the queen. 

Can Cinder, Prince Kai, Scarlet, Wolf, Cress, Thorne, Princess Winter, and the palace guard Jacin find their happily ever afters?


After all of the build up of the previous four books in the Lunar Chronicles series I am so desperate for the final instalment! It feels like an age that we've been waiting for this book so I am so glad it's concluding at the end of this year. Saying that, I am in no way happy that this series is coming to an end because frankly I love it so much. It's the perfect adaptations of fairy tales whilst still having a great deal of originality to the plot! If you haven't check out the Lunar Chronicles then you seriously need to!

So what is your Waiting on Wednesday pick this week? 

Let me know in the comments below, or over on any of my social media platforms. I'd love to read what your picks are!
