These books are a twist on fairytales, and of all the fairytale retellings, these ones take first place.
All the characters have so much depth and they're all so unique from one another.

Not sure how I feel about the storyline as a whole- it just seems like a lot? I guess that at the end of the day, it's about the hostile relationship between Earth and the Lunar people, but there's a lot put into it that made it difficult for me to grasp. Saying that, I'm not really a sci-fi enthusiastic, but I think that people who are could really like this book.
My biggest critique is that I'm not a fan of the big "plot twist" of a book being obvious to the readers and not to the MC- which happens with a few different things. I was getting frustrated with Cinder for not realizing what was right in front of her, while also acknowledging that we see a lot more than she does. Still, I'm excited to continue with the series and see where it goes.

It's a modern Cinderella retelling, and part of the plot is that there's a major pandemic going on.christinastuart26's review against another edition
