Retellings are ten a penny these days so it must be a challenge to find a new way of looking at a classic tale; luckily Meyer has more than risen to that challenge. This is not your classic "repaint the villain" retelling (a la Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West - which I also loved!) but a completely new twist set in a dystopian world.

I’ve been obsessed with a book and had to simply write a review about Cinder by Marissa Meyer. There’s been a huge hype about it a few years ago and I finally caught up on it after I had some thoughts about it. Because if something gets too hyped, I automatically hate it.
