I really read this book in a day. I couldn't put it down. The story was much better than I thought -- a little [b:Neuromancer|22328|Neuromancer (Sprawl, #1)|William Gibson|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1285017005s/22328.jpg|909457], a little [b:The Moon is a Harsh Mistress|16690|The Moon is a Harsh Mistress|Robert A. Heinlein|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1348768309s/16690.jpg|1048525] with the overlaying of the classic Cinderella fairytale. To be honest, the Cinderella story wasn't needed, or it didn't need to be quite so blatant as the earth vs. moon political intrigue and race and class prejudices could stand on their own. I can't wait to read the second book which I hope will diverge a bit from the Cinderella story into its own tale.
La verdad me habían recomendado mucho esta saga y no me decepciono para nada. Me gustaron los personajes, la historia y como se relacionaba con la historia de La Cenicienta, disfrute el libro y no podía parar de leer y ya quiero conocer mejor a los personajes.

3.5 stars.
Well it was a really fast and smooth read and I'm grateful about that.
But the "big secret and plot twist" was way too obvious, as I guessed it about 100 pages into the book.
I didn't feel much of a pull toward any of the characters. They were okay, but for me okay isn't exactly enough, specially when it's a series with 4 books.
Still enjoyable tho.

Excellent fairy tale retelling! Can't wait to see where the rest of the story goes as the series unfolds!
