Reading for the 2nd time. Most recently started January 11, 2025.
How. How is it that this wonderful series is over? I am feeling both happy and sad. I am literally so tempted to get Cinder again and start the series over. Alas, 2021 is coming to an end, and I need to read as many books as possible before that deadline.
I just can't get over it. How is the series over? I have grown so attached to all these amazing characters-- Determined and clever Cinder. Caring and sweet Kai. Headstrong and reckless Scarlet. Awkward and protective Wolf. Shy and genius Cress. Charismatic and brave Thorne. Cute and slightly-insane Winter. Serious and defensive Jacin. Delightful and hilarious Iko. And of course, invincible and manipulative Levana.
I can't get over how well Marissa developed these characters. Each of them took an amazing journey to get to who they were at the end of this. It is truly awe-inspiring. I normally don't put an author on my favorite list after just one series, but I am now. This series was a masterpiece, and nothing can change my mind. Marissa Meyer is up there with J.K. Rowling (don't support her beliefs), Rick Riordan, Sabaa Tahir, and so many more.
The plot...I don't even know how she came up with something so creative. The plot was so steadily paced, and it always kept you reading. The ending...it legit made me shed a tear or two. Maybe that's why I'm so triggered--I almost NEVER cry when I'm reading a book. Literally, last time I remember crying over a book was in 6th or 7th grade??
Anyways, the plot was beautifully paced, and I loved the multiple point of views. It was fast paced, with plot twists sprinkled here and there.
Don't even get me started on the writing. How is it so simple, and easy to understand, but it seems so much more than that? I can't describe it. Oh no! Guess you'll have to read the series to find out what I mean. >:)
Moving on, if you still can't get over the end of this series, here is some lovely fanart I found on the Internet.

Thank you so much! I actually don't know. I have a shit ton of books I need to finish LOL. I got the Bronze Beasts today btw. :)
okay okay!! this is one of my favourite and comfort series and im so glad you loved it, but can we please talk about the chemistry between Iko and Kinney? thank you ☺️🤧💜
Yessss! Omg- it actually never occurred to me...but I definitely see it now. I SHIP-
RIGHT. also if you read the epilogue in Stars Above (if you haven't yet), they're kind of hinted to as a couple, so that tidbit fed straight into my shipping heart.
I haven't, and I plan to! OMG YESSS
Okay! Take your time. :) Sounds good!
Oh, my gosh. The review was amazing! And the fanart... I don't know how you found all of them, but they are amazing.
Aw, thank you so much!! Haha, it took forever, but it was fun looking at tons of amazing art. :D
This review is amazing! These characters are everything, thank you for sharing the fanart 💕
There are the two graphic novels set after this book.
