I liked this book despite it being predictable (it is a spinoff on a fairytale after all). I fell in love with the robot character and am looking forward to reading the series.
Fascinating reimagination of the Cinderella, told in a federated asian country of the future. Our heroine, Cinder, is the ward of an evil widow with two daughters. Cinder is a cyborg and the best mechanic in the land. Lots of heart in all of the interactions, lots of futuristic technology. And of course, a handsome Prince. I really enjoyed this story. The writing felt fresh.
I have been wanting to read this book and series since it came out and it did not disappoint. It is one of my favorite books I’ve read this year. I can’t wait to continue the series
A unique and thoroughly creepy story. I can usually anticipate what's next, but this book kept me guessing.
I do feel that the pacing could have been quicker -- there are lots of unnecessary tangents, and the story doesn't really pick up until slightly past halfway. Not sure if I'll finish the series at this point, but an enjoyable read nonetheless.
