Winter

De: Marissa Meyer

Narrado por: 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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"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!

A Thrilling Conclusion to the Story

I will start by saying that I loved this series! It was so amazing, the retelling of the old tales with a sci-fi and inclusive twist was just... amazing.
Winter as a character was not new to this book, but having her be featured more heavily was wonderful, I loved the views and change in perspective to the story that she brought.

While it is still a book about Cinder and her tale and journey, it very much tells the story of all of the strong young women so far, Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, and Winter; along with their male counterparts. I absolutely loved the pairings and what each partner bring to the story, though I do wish the stories had more LGBT+ representation across the board.

I listen to audio books at 2x speed, and I did not put this down all day, I listened through work and while making dinner. During my downtime at home. Everything! I finished it in a day! I was sad when it ended but couldn't stop listening!!! I was laughing along so much and also shaking my head at dumb decisions or talking aloud and upset when hard parts came along.
And like all of the Cinder books, this one is not lacking for hard and sad moments, but the funny ones are more memorable to me.

I am excited to be able to share these books with my kid when they finish their talking animal kick, I think that they will love them. And so would anyone of any age honestly. :)

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.
