Did i know from the beginning who's princess Serena - yes. Were some other aspects of the book predictable - yes. And yet i find the whole concept and the book itself interesting and that's why i intend to read the next one as i suspect it could be more compeling with the new characters put in a new light :) If you like easy-to-read fairytales - this book is for you.

This is a fantastic new take on fairy tales in a future-ish version of our world. I love how Meyer takes the tales we're familiar with and braids them together. At times you're not sure which tale is being told for Cinder but it's still clearly Cinderella...just with a nice science fiction twist.

I am in love with this book. Also a big fan of cinderella and the author was amazing and really understand the story of cinderella. I had this thought though that the villian and some written scene remind me of my favorite anime tv show, I also found out the author is a fan of and it is Sailor Moon. Dont want to go in details because it will ruin and spoil other people's reading. Just will say this, Sailor Moon fan look into it, I am sure I am not makeing things up. So to the book the writing style is easy to read, and the world building was there and interesting, the characters are loveable and I actually like them alot. Clear plot and since there is a continuation the ending was alittle confusing but it finish well.

I'm so mad at myself for letting this book sit on my shelf for years because, holy shit, it's so incredible! Everything I want in a book is right here! It's a fairy tale retelling, futuristic sci fi, it's got an awesome mc, a great plot, and the sweetest romance ever.
Seriously, I can't find a single fault in this book. I'm so glad I read it and so EXCITED to have three books left - I already know this is going to be one of my favourite series' of all time.

OMG. No tengo palabras para describir lo tanto que me gusto este libro. Así que voy a poner lo que no me gusto y lo que me gusto.
- Lo que "no" me gusto:
- Cinder me recordó un poco a Celaena y el príncipe Kai a Dorian de [b:Trono de cristal|16080337|Trono de cristal (Trono de cristal, #1)|Sarah J. Maas|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1349962474s/16080337.jpg|11138426] . No se porque, pero me recuerdan a ellos.
PD: No es que no me ella gustado eso, pero me resulto bastante curioso.
- El supuesto Plot Twist de la princesa Selene era MUY predecible. Desde que dijeron que Cinder era Lunar, ya tuve mis teorías acerca de que ella era la princesa Selene.
- Lo que me gusto:
- Cinder es una de las historia mas originales que leí. Nunca había leído una historia sobre Cyborgs o/y androides.
- La escena final donde Cinder se enfrenta a la Reina Levana, es GENIAL.
- Cuando Kai se entera de que Cinder era una Cyborg me rompió me corazón.
Bueno en resumen, me gusto todo el libro, y por eso no le baje la nota.
(Que emoción, mi primera Review, aunque odio escribir)

Really liked the character development also I adore how this book actually brought out a very deep emotion from me, wrath, for certain characters. The one thing that I wish was different is how predictable it is, I was able to predict the plot twists within the beginning chapters.
