My review:
This book was kind of weird…but I COULD NOT STOP READING!! It completely captivated me. I was so curious about how things would end up throughout the whole book. There are so many different pieces of the story occurring at the same time that it really keeps you on your toes.
I love Cinderella, so I loved the fairy tale part of the story. The futuristic technology part was confusing at times, but overall it was cool to see. I think it was a really creative idea.
I loved Cinder. She was so strong and had such courage. I was definitely rooting for her throughout the whole book. Kai was a sweetheart and I was very intrigued by the romance part of the book. I think this book was so well written! The only thing I did not like was not knowing the rest of the story and having to wait for the next book!!
