I’m really excited for Marissa Meyer to finish this series also. I loved Cress and I’m sure Winter is going to be an epic finale.

I just love The Lunar Chronicles, too. Those books just get me all emotional and invested. And I’m also so darn excited for Winter.

I have read four of the top five, and love them all so much. Also The Wraith and The Dawn was excellent.
A re-telling that I really enjoyed was A Wicked Thing by Rhiannon Thomas. Love that is what happens after Sleeping Beauty wakes up.

I really liked Uprooted and Crimson Bound, with Cinder and Fairest (still have to read Cress).
