WIJFR - Cress by Marissa Meyer (NS)
I loved this book.
I loved Cinder (the first book in the series) and while I liked Scarlet (the second) I didn't love it as much as Cinder so I was glad Cress was up to Cinder's standard.
As a whole this may be my favorite recent series. I told re-tellings of fairy tales and these are some of the most well done I've read.
Does anyone know if Winter (the 4th book that comes out in 2015) will be the end of the series? While I am loving the series I'm not sure I want it to be any longer.
Does anyone have any other fairy tale re-tellings they can recommend?

I hated Cinder. I don't even remember why, but I had a strong reaction to it.
I love The Fire Rose by Mercedes Lackey. She does a lot of other fairy tale retellings.
Good advice...especially when a story can kill you.
For most people, the story of their lives is just that: the accumulation of time, encounters, and actions into a cohesive whole. But for an unfortunate few, that day-to-day existence is affected—perhaps infected is a better word—by memetic incursion: where fairy tale narratives become reality, often with disastrous results.
That's where the ATI Management Bureau steps in, an organization tasked with protecting the world from fairy tales, even while most of their agents are struggling to keep their own fantastic archetypes from taking over their lives. When you're dealing with storybook narratives in the real world, it doesn't matter if you're Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, or the Wicked Queen: no one gets a happily ever after.
Indexing is New York Times bestselling author Seanan McGuire’s new urban fantasy where everything you thought you knew about fairy tales gets turned on its head.
I loved, Cress, too! I read Cinder a long time ago, and while I liked it, I was not running out to get Scarlet. But after I finally read Scarlet, I was hooked on the series. Captain Thorne is my favorite character, so I was glad to see him even more in Cress.
I think Winter is the last one.
