Synopsis:

     Princess Winter is admired by the Lunar people for her grace and kindness, and despite the scars that mar her face, her beauty is said to be even more breathtaking than that of her stepmother, Queen Levana.

     Winter despises her step-mother, and knows Levana won’t approve of her feelings for her childhood friend—the handsome palace guard, Jacin. But Winter isn’t as weak as Levana believes her to be and she’s been undermining her stepmother’s wishes for years. Together with the cyborg mechanic, Cinder, and her allies, Winter might even have the power to launch a revolution and win a war that’s been raging for far too long.

     Can Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, and Winter defeat Levana and find their happily ever afters?

Book Beginnings:

Winter's toes had become ice cubes. They were as cold as space. As cold as the dark side of Luna. As cold as--

"....security feeds captured him entering the AR-Central med-clinic's sublevels at 23:00 U.T.C,,,"

Thoughts:

Winter is a pretty interesting character. I don't really know what is going on with her at this point but I am excited to find out.

My 56:

    "Of course." Drawing in a deep breath, she grabbed her portscreen and headed towards the galley.

    "Cress?"

She paused and turned back, but Wolf was looking at the floor, his arms crossed. He looked about as awkward as she usually felt.

     "Thank you."

Thoughts:

There weren't many good choices for a 56. But I really like this exchange between Cress and Wolf.
