I was hesitant to read this book - I thought it would be a predictable romance with a sci-fi twist. Boy, was I wrong - and I am so glad I read this book!
While some aspects of the plot were predictable, the ending completely surprised me and made me eager to dive into the next book in the series.
Meyer did a wonderful job crafted a sci-fi world that was fascinating and different but still easily understandable. She also skillfully took the essence of the classic Cinderella story but added enough unique twists that I was engrossed the entire time. Finally, she created true, heartfelt moments throughout that often left me near tears.
I also really appreciated that this book was a clean sci-fi novel.
I can't wait to read the rest of the series!
