Cinder by Marissa Meyer

4.0

LOVING this book so far. I'm only a few chapters in and it has me hooked. It is seriously close to dethroning Ever After as the all time best Cinderella story :::swoon:::

NOOOOOOO!!! I have to WAIT for the sequel! The horror :( the end of the novel bumbled around a bit, but I had already fallen in love with it so I didn't take much notice and am excited to read it's companion due out in February.

Update...

I think what I am really attracted to is the main protagonist, she is a girl with a history who expands on that history to become who she is in the story. So there is great depth to her, not just "This is how you are and I'm going to write about you," kinda thing. There is a reason behind everything. So the second reading through and I was even more in love with it.

The rest of the story, while most of us know how it's going to go, the author has set a well know story into a truly unique world. I love her characters. I love the setting. I love this book.
