An incredible start to an expansive science fiction series with immediately loveable characters, loveable settings, and loveable writing.  The book itself flows amazingly well, with a permanently addictive pace that makes the story fly past, especially as wider galactic tensions arise, plot twists grow in number, and stakes become rapid.  Recommend to anyone looking for a good science fiction, or badass sci-fi versions of your favourite fairytale princesses and stories.

This book and its general storyline is not a masterpiece, in my opinion, but I did find it entertaining to read and enjoyed the writing style. The main characters were likable, though I did find that I forgot about two rather important side ones pretty much as soon as they were out of the picture... 

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.
