It’s not that this book was bad or anything, I just couldn’t love it. Having already read Renegades, by the same author, I had my expectations way too high; now I know I was wrongly expecting.
Cinder is Marissa Meyer’s first novel, and that is obvious. The plot is good but it’s insufficient; the romance is cute yet rushed; the characters lacked depth (except for Cinder)…
No one writes a great debut without flaws, and this is no exception.
However, since I know what Meyer is capable of (and that I enjoyed the novel; more than anything, the ending chapters and plot twist ), I will continue with the saga.
