Good book. Kind of predictable but I like the world Meyer created. I'll probably read the next one in the series.
“Even in the Future the Story Begins with Once Upon a Time”
loved the retelling of cinderella in a cool way! Cinder is a great female character and I actually like the romance!
only negative is two things
- transphobic joke??? I couldn't tell if it was or not
- writing felt very basic. not always a bad thing, just wanted a little bit more
