Winter (Lunar Chronicles, #4)

Yikes. This series finale didn't live up to my expectations considering all the praise and adoration showered upon the series. I expected things to end with a BANG, but it was more like a fizzle, small pop, fizzle, small pop, fizzle, small pop, etc. It was a lame firework that wouldn't go off right. Over and over again you're led up to a climax, only to be dropped down several pegs, then led right back up. It was such a constant up and down that I just got ANNOYED that the book wouldn't end already. Not a pleasant feeling to have when you know you still have way to many pages left to go.

Speaking of that, wow does this drag on. Not just in length, not just in useless characters, but in scenes that are literally over and done with in the span of a few pages. If something can be wrapped up that quickly, there's a good chance that it's not important enough to show. Or at least, don't keep all your scenes like that in. It seems like there was tons of filler added and nobody cut any of it out.

Don't forget to mention how beautiful Winter is!
