To me, Cinder and Scarlet where solid four star books. I enjoyed them, I wanted to read more, but there was just something missing from them that prevented me from giving them that extra star. I don't know what it was about Cress, but that one thing I was longing for was there. This book truly exceeded my expectations.
This book had crazy good character development. Loved it!
I'm flying through these books and I have to say, this one has been my favorite so far. I really love this cast of characters and all the connections between them. Cress has definitely moved up there though in terms of favorite characters in this series. I also really love all the interactions between Cress and Thorne and how their relationship developed.
I also really love how Winter was introduced in this installment before we focus on her in the final book. I need to finish a few other books, but then I will definitely be getting to Winter so I can finish this series and see how it all ends.
Ughhhh. WHY AM I STILL READING THIS SERIES? I just have to know what happens. But the characters are all whiny and insufferable, not to mention completely idiotic. WHY, OH WHY?
