Cinder by Marissa Meyer
5.0
I really enjoyed this Book! :D I love Fairy Tale retellings & this one was very well done. I could feel the Cinderella vibes throughout-But with a new setting, new characters & new twists...Some of which I did see coming, but most I didn't! ;)
The story was great; More modern, yet more grounded & realistic too. You could clearly see the nods to the original story, but the differences worked well to create a new one at the same time.
The setting was interesting; New Beijing, in the future, a while after WW4-I really enjoyed the description of this world.
The characters were well rounded & relatable; Cinder is an intelligent, capable, hard working, tough Woman, who's been through {& continues to go through} a lot of shit! XD Kai's more than just a good looking Prince-He's trying to do his best for his Father, the people & somehow himself.
I'm going to get the next Book asap-Can't wait to read it! :)
