Cinder by Marissa Meyer
2.0

I disliked this book so much.
Every (and I do mean Every. Single. One) female character that spoke (except for the MC, and one future MC) was either evil or a bit stupid/naive and died and every male character that spoke or was mentioned a lot was a good guy. The evil queen doesn't seem to have any character but Evil and Queen (and maybe beautiful) and while I'm all for an irredemeably bad character once again she was so so boring and I can't forgive that. The Prince and Cinder had no chemistry whatsoever, she is not like other girls and he loves that and he is good looking and that should be enough. I guess. Also Monarchy is good and having ID Chips in every wrist leads to no problems whatsover.


The idea is cool though and it did kind of help me through a reading slump. So... two stars
