Cinder by Marissa Meyer
5.0
I heard a lot of great things about Cinder before I read it, and I can totally understand why. The concept of this book was great! It was a very unique and captivating twist on the Cinderella fairytale. I loved the idea of cyborgs and it was executed really well. I also love a good dystopian. This was a very different and well developed dystopian which I didn't expect, and I was very impressed.
World building is needed for a dystopian and Meyer had no problem doing this and I felt that I was there. It was done exceptionally well. I also liked the idea that Cinder wasn't set in America as a majority of YA books are. This was very refreshing.
The writing was beautiful, and it kept me captivated from the start. Despite it not having much action in, I didn't get bored at all, and wanted to keep reading.
The characters in Cinder were great. Cinder was a character which I loved, she was passionate, independent, strong and brave. She was also sarcastic and funny which entertained me. Kai was also a character which I grew to love. He had a lot resting on him and a huge amount of pressure and handled it well. He was a great character and I enjoyed his and Cinder's relationship, as it didn't feel too rushed.
Iko was also a lovely character and her and Cinder obviously had a good friendship. Peony death upset me as I would have loved to have seen more of her.
Overall, It was a great read and I would definitely recommend. Especially if you love fairytales and dystopia's.
