Anxiously Awaiting Winter!
...the newest book in the Lunar Chronicles (new window), not the season!
As a child, fantasy was always my go-to genre for reading and still is! The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer proved to be exceptionally appealing to me as an adult, especially the book titles. The main character for each book in the series embodies a well-known princess character from traditional literature, but the series is set in the future where the moon is now inhabited and that society is at odds with the people of Earth. The author creatively weaves folkloric traditions into the fabric of science fiction throughout the series and I anxiously look forward to getting my hands on Winter!
