Cinder by Marissa Meyer
4.0
Overall:
Content warnings: lost of loved ones, medical experimentation, a pandemic
Thoughts
Neutral thoughts:
I guessed a lot of things? And I don’t know if it’s because I’m just THAT good at being able to connect the dots & deduce the information that we’ve been given or if things were just really obvious? I’m not sure, but some of the things that I guessed DID happen, but not in ways that I expected/predicted and who revealed what
Pros:
It is VERY fast paced. There was literally not a dull moment & I thought it was really interesting how the original Cinderella and Disney’s rendition were incorporated into this!
Gripes:
I guess I just didn’t understand the magic system regarding the Lunars? (Which is VERY important to the plot) I know what it does but I felt it was too simple? And maybe this will be explored more in the coming books, but I just felt confused overall and the limitations that it has
The romance(s):
The development between Kai and Cinder was just really wholesome ? Like yes there was doubt on Cinder’s part (because of who she is and who Kai is), but you could just tell that Kai liked her & was just being really obvious about it
