4.5
Really creative fairy-tale remake with fun, funny, and frustrating characters that bring the story to life. A pretty light read but touches on heavy topics that are still very relevant today. It’s honestly pretty action-packed but each scene is given the time it deserves. Great on it’s own, but also an excellent first book to the whole Lunar Chronicles series. Disclaimer: I am biased because I read this several times as a young teenager and was obsessed. But it did hold up!
