Spadla mi brada a to jako fakt. Po přečtení prví věty v knize jsem protáčela oči a teď mám pro změnu pusu dokořán. Dostalo mě to.

Really loved Cinder! She's strong but real. Also
knew she was princess Selene pretty early on but still enjoyed watching the mystery unfold.

A fabulous, fun adventure that I'll most certainly be continuing! Well written. I had to take breaks sometimes because I got so invested in the story and the characters that the suspense was getting to be too much for me!

The first half is sooo good and kept me on edge but then it started to get boring and it dragged for a while. So that is why i knocked it down a star.

I think this series is good because it's a goofy read. You can't take it too seriously or it will become unenjoyable. The author tries to put in every type of cliche and trope, and the plot is very predictable, but that doesn't mean it's a bad book! It was easy to read and wacky enough to break me out of my reading slump. I read the whole book in a day and quickly moved on to the next in the series.

This was fun and fast-paced and immersive and everything you want from a throwback YA sci-fi fantasy.

I was so surprised by this book - I really enjoyed it! I was expecting a very easy read that only vaguely held my interest because the author was trying too hard to make it sci-fi. That is not what this book is! Yes, it's a very easy read, but only because the writing flows so beautifully and makes it really easy for you to create the story and characters in your head. The sci-fi element is included very well, and isn't too overdone as it usually is in YA.

This book put an interesting spin on the Cinderella story, which I loved! To be fair, I did guess all of the main "plot twist" reveal type things, and I was getting fed up of Prince Kai by the end, but it was still a really fun read.

There's something about this book that feels very juvenile, and I definitely think this book is suitable for anyone above the age of 12. Having said that, I, at 20 years old, did really enjoy this book as well. I can't wait to read the next one!
