Cinder by Marissa Meyer
4.0
Actual rating: 4.5
I'm going to be honest here. I was really reluctant to read this book. Despite all the amazing reviews that this books has had, and how many booktubers have mentioned this book and how much they loved it, it never really grabbed my attention. Sure, it sounded cool but it didn't really interest me.
Now that I have read it I'm sitting here scolding myself for not having read it sooner! It's amazing, not the best book in the world but still fantastic! The author did a great job of recreating Cinderella and bring the whole cyborg aspect into it.
The only thing that disappointed me a little is that about half way through the book it became kinda obvious to me that Cinder was really the princess. I don't know if any one else figured it out earlier, but it frustrated me a little. I wish it would have come as a bit more of a shock, but still a great twist in the story.
I'm hoping to pick up the second book in the series soon.
