I'll be honest, I was curled up in a ball internally screaming for the majority of the time I was reading this book. *screamed externally twice* Of course I hated the suspense throughout the book but I loved it so much. It was perfect. The queen's pressure on the Commonwealth was perfect and kept me reading with an ambitious hatred.

Cinder is a sci fi/dystopian novel but when I was reading it, it felt more like a sci fi novel. There are hovers instead of cars, android, cyborgs (which is what the prot ...more

Pretty good. I literally did not know what I was getting into when I started reading this. All I knew was that it was supposed to be a kind of Cinderella re-telling. It had a huge interesting twist to it though. Totally not what I expected, better.
Like, waaaaaaay better.
