This should be 4.5 stars. I thought the story took a little while to capture my attention, but once it did it was hard to put down. I loved the overall story and the unique take on Cinderella. Cinder was a wonderful character and I was rooting for her the whole time.
I don't know why it took me so long to get around to reading my copy of Cinder. I guess I've been burned by too many bad fairy tell retellings (Wicked I'm looking at you!)

I called the ending, but I still thoroughly enjoyed this, which is a testament to how fun it was to read. It's a rare thing for me in YA books that the narration doesn't bother me- and it didn't!

I'll definitely read the rest of the series, though.

Wow, I loved this! At times predictable, but still the story unfolded nicely and kept me fully engaged. Already reading the next in the series.
I really enjoyed this. It felt so original, I forgot I was reading a retelling of Cinderella. Better review later....
Loved it! The characters came alive.
Damn. I hate cliffhangers.
