I can't believe that I never left a review the first time that I read this. This book was abso-freaking-lutely fantastic! It was mesmerizing from the very first page. I was totally engrossed in the story. I love Meyer's writing style and her storytelling is fantastic. I loved the plot twists and the interesting way that the author orchestrated this unique retelling of Cinderella. The parallels were really exciting to see unfold.

I haven't read any adaptations that I can remember at the moment, but even if I did, this would be the best one. All I can say is-Wow.
Every element of the classic story was there and even though I could see what was going to happen, it was delivered so well that I didn't care. Some would say that the ending was a cliffhanger. Being that the series is continuing, I feel more like it was 'chapter' to the story and didn't feel like a cliffhanger (which you know I hate with the heat of 1000 suns).

Interesting premise and I realize that its a YA book but I felt the 'foreshadowing' was a bit like an 24 piece puzzle. Yeah, you need to use your brain to put it together but it doesn't take very long to do. I figured out who and what she was less than a quarter into the book.
I may read the next one but I'm in no rush, even with the cliffhanger ending.

Very interesting read. Didn't know what to expect but I've seen this on everyone's lists as a not to be missed read. I didn't like the ending. I guess that part of Cinder's story ended but I want to know what happens next!

It was a slow start but got really good at the end so it's really 3.5 stars.
