Book Review: Winter by Marissa Meyer

Book Review Winter Marissa Meyer Lunar Chronicles

Winter ended up being my favorite book in the whole series. Snow White is probably the hardest fairy tale character to connect to. She's perfect and helpless. Winter spends a lot of time dusting, sweeping, cleaning rugs, organizing and washing laundry like Snow White does (but no forest animals in this version). But Winter pays ... Read More »
