Winter

By: Marissa Meyer

Narrated by: Rebecca Soler

The #1 New York Times Bestselling Series!

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 stepmother, 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? Fans will not want to miss this thrilling conclusion to Marissa Meyer's national bestselling Lunar Chronicles series.

The audio includes an interview between the author and the narrator.

Critic reviews

"Reader Soler is one of those magical voice actors who can create a seemingly endless supply of memorable voices. Here, she offers an appropriately sweet, fluttery Snow White-esque voice for Winter; a deliciously purring, cooing "popular mean girl" voice for Queen Levana; a French accent for Jacinl and many, many more. Even background characters who appear for just a line or two get distinctive voices, such as an Australian-accented guest at the wedding banquet. Soler's pacing is excellent, and she skillfully navigates listeners through Meyer's 23-hour story." -Publishers Weekly

"Narrator Soler returns to deliver an epic performance. She continues to enrapture listeners as she takes on the vocal stylings of 10 main characters and a plethora of secondary voices. She breathes personality into each while maintaining distinctions among the voices with a variety of pitches and accents, including French, Australian, and Irish. Her whimsical portrayal of Winter as seemingly vague and almost fluttery is a perfect contrast to the flawlessly venomous Queen Levana. Solar ramps up the pace to bring listeners to the edge of their seats in a thrilling escape scene and just as expertly slows it down for the romantic interludes. Soler’s narration helps bring this epic series to a wonderfully engaging conclusion." -Booklist

So amazing

I honestly don't think she could have ended this amazing series any better! So great!

I'm speechless

Not really. This is freaking amazing and I could go on about it for days. Beautifully and intelligently written. After reading all 4, I miss my friends. What a gift this author has. Just wonderful. Splendid. Oh, and the narrator....best I've ever heard. The accents, the tones of voice. Amazing. Got the points across. Enveloped the listener in the story. Perfect.

the best ending possible.

i hope she writes more in the series, to include more fairytales from around the world!

R. Soler does a few mistakes narrating it.

In chapter 33, 11 min 30 sec in, she says the wrong name. A few small mistakes here and there throw me out of the story but it is still decently done.

This author tho!!!!! SO GOOD

I was introduced to Marissa Meyer's addictive writing with Renegades (I am currently impatiently awaiting the 2nd book). Her fans were constantly comparing Renegades to The Lunar Chronicles so I had to check it out for myself. I was immediately sucked into the series and finished all 4 books within a couple weeks. I can't seem to put my finger on it, but there is just something about her writing that pulls you in and keeps you intrigued. Although Renegades and The Lunar Chronicles are very different series, they both have that intriguing quality and writing style that can only come from Marissa Meyer. They both involve an entire world of their own that involve not only amazing characters that you desperately want to see succeed, but also a whole world in which only an excellent sci-fi/fantasy author can create.

I listen to audiobooks when working out and on the long drive to and from work and this series kept me completely entranced and then quickly irritated when I had to pause it. Meyer's ability to suck her readers in to the story is uncanny. She is WAY too good at cliffhangers! She knows how to make her readers impatient as hell...in a good way.
