I listened to this audiobook, and I enjoyed it a little more than I thought I would. It's a sci-fi retelling of Cinderella, and I thought it was well done. I liked Cinder's spunk and the futuristic elements that were added to the story.

This was very enjoyable and a good start to a series. I’m very excited to continue the series. :)

This was a solid read, enjoyable and without too much to dislike. It definitely had a lot of really interesting things about it -- I was really interested in the cyborg as a second class citizen story and thought it was interestingly portrayed.

Why not a higher rating? I don't know, it didn't grab me totally. I didn't want to read it all the time. That and the ending was telegraphed so early that I got a little annoyed.

That being said, I will more than likely read the next three books happily, if slowly.

A lot of people told me to read the Lunar Chronicles but I did not listen to them. I was wrong, this amazing. I could understand Cinder so much it didn’t seem like an empty character. However the end???? I thought it would finish properly not like this. Anyways I am going to read the second book of the series right now. (I loved Kai too
