this book was absolutely incredible. 
 as soon as I became immersed in this world again, I remembered just how much I love these characters. they all have such amazing and distinct personalities, with unique strengths and weaknesses. 
 I just love the retelling aspect of the series, and also how all the characters intertwine. 
 winter's perspective was very different to the previous main characters - although it was clear she had hallucinations, we could also see her inner strength and need to be kind and good, which I loved so much about her. 
 the conclusion to this series was really satisfying. although we do know where the characters will be heading in their near and distant futures, I kind of wish it lasted a little longer, or there was a fifth book so we could get more of a glimpse into their lives post the events of this book (I'm not ready for it to be over!) 
 all in all this book was SO AMAZING, I'm really sad the series is over but I can't wait to re-read it in a few years or so and re-live the amazing story.
