this book wasnt bad but it wasnt AMAZING. the plot twist i knew was coming like come on it was kinda obvious. i love kai with a passion like bro is just so nice and hes so sassy to khara levana. speaking of that RAT bro is proper psychotic like she is so VAIN going back to cinder and kai i feel like there relationship didnt even develop that much like when did bro have the time to be like 'hey i like cinder' but thats because there was so much going on in this book like damn this wrld is actually interesting now i get the hype about dystopian stuff. it s actually really cool how when i noticed stuff from cinderella in the book i would legit be like "oooooo thats in the og one". cinder is actually a nice character what i love is how realistic she is like everything she says im like 'yep, i can relate to that' so yea dats it. :)

As the first “retelling style” book, I loved this book. I avoided it for years from misunderstanding/misjudging based on the cover. But when it was available from my online library, I decided to give it a chance. And now I can’t wait to start the next book.

This book had so much promise.

Cinderella is a cyborg mechanic, a human being who was turned partly into a machine after a bad accident. She lives with her guardian, who hates her, and the guardian's two daughters- she thinks of those people as her stepmom and stepsisters. They live in a post World War IV dystopian "New" Beijing riddled with "Letumosis" - basically the plague. Enter an evil queen from the moon and a handsome prince and we have ourselves a pretty cool fairy tale retelling, or so you'd think.

The premise is very interesting and Cinder should have been frickin kick ass. But she wasn't, she was just an annoying teenager, same goes for the prince. The character interactions and relationships were extremely shallow and cliche. Nothing to see here, move along.
