I read this series back in middle/high school and decided to revisit it as an adult. The world building is honestly amazing and the easter eggs of things to come are so well laid.

4.3 stars
wow this pleasantly surprised me! it was a very entertaining an fun read. It was very predictable and shockingly it didn't even bother me. I loved (or hated) every character and after 30 pages or so I already felt attached to them which happens very rarely.
I liked the fact that this was such a light read considering that it's Sci Fi

A dystopian retelling of Cinderella with cyborgs and androids...and sequels within the fairy tale universe. Excited to see what the rest of the series holds! YA but definitely a story that adults can enjoy as well.

It was good but very slow to start. It's like this whole book was just set up for the rest of the series with out much of its own plot. But definitely left me needing to read the next book!

A fun lighthearted, retailing of a classic story, though quite predictable!
Overall, I liked it, but I do wish I felt more connected to the characters.
Perhaps it will get better as I continue on with the series, because I really enjoy Marissa Myers writing!
