**2019 reread**
I stan my previous review
Read Infinity and Beyond: Cyborg - Read a book featuring a disabled character
*2018*
I didn't actually think I'd get around to reading this book. I almost bought it years ago before I started hearing about how popular it was and then I just never got around to it. I love retellings so I should've read it much sooner, but I think the hype kind of made me not want to. The story was a bit predictable, but I can't fault it for that. It's a retelling.
But I am so glad I finally read it!
I loved how this story took such well loved fairytale and made it what it is. I really enjoyed the sci-fi aspect and how magic wasn't a thing. And because of that there wasn't a fairy godmother or a magical ballgown. I really love how the 'fairy godmother' was basically three different people.
Iko is my favorite! I love her and her sentimentality and the fact she loved pretty things.
I will be getting my own copy asap
