Cinder by Marissa Meyer
3.0
I just don't think YA and I go together. It was a fast and fun read, but some of the characters were a bit too one-sided and the romance didn't work for me. It wasn't badly written, but I'm not a big fan of this kind of romance in general.
Cinder was a fascinating character, a gem among YA heroines. The cyborg part is intriguing and I wish we got to see more of that part of society. Why are cyborgs so looked down on? There is room here to explore what it means to be human.
The biggest "twist" was easy to spot early on, but that might very well have been the intention, as it makes the story more compelling in its own way. This was one of the better YA books I've read in a while, and it's a good starting point for a series. I'm interested to see where it goes.
