Review:
Honestly, I avoided this first book for so long. First thought.. Ehh Cyborgs... UH yeah no. Well walked into a used book store and bam Cinder and Scarlet brand new copies sitting there staring at me. So I picked them up and walked around going ehh do I really want them.. The lady working comes up and goes you gotta read them. They are fantastic!! Pretty much a nice intro into sci fi. Well now we know what happen.. They came home with me.
First, love retellings so much but hot dang this one was so so so much more. and so much fun. I flew through it. When I had to set it down I couldnt stop thinking about it. There were so many fun twists it kept it fun and exciting. Of course you feel bad for Cinder and the crap she has to go through but then you see shes pretty bad ass. The characters just wow. In. Love. I did keep forgetting we were in New Beijing though but besides that the technology she includes in the story was awesome. We'll just say I adore her writing style so much. It was a fast fantastic story and I can not wait to finish this series. I now understand the hype and this book deserves every ounce of hype it has gotten. Keep doing your thing Marissa Meyer cause you're a total BOSS at writing.
