Co- blogger- Tiffany Webb also reviewed this book on our blog and goodreads. see it here at Book- Marks The Spot (i know. we both reviewed the same book on our blog. haha. yeah. i'm weird like that.
My thoughts:
ok, first off wow. This is by far my favorite twist EVER on Cinderella. I mean a cyborg? hell, yes. My only problem with this book is that i have to wait for the next installment in the series. I cannot believe it has taken me so long to read it. i mean it was good. I loved the characters. they were so fresh. I mean, sure the evil stepmother concept was not new, but come on, you have to admot even she was complex ad not all bad. i mean, yeah she was mostly bad... but not all bad. lol.
the characters. I genuinely loved both of the main characters in the story. Cinder was not incredibly whiny like some of the other heroines i have read about int he past. She was insecure and Kai was just so charming. haha. get it. but not in a superficial- shallow- i just met you for the first time and i love you -disney- type way. lol. If that made any sense at all. ;)
I loved Cinder's android sidekick. and i do not wish to spoil the book for anyone and if i keep goign i may spew forth spoilers. lol. but seriously, people. read this book.
It is am awesome concept. I mean, there is more to this book than a shallow love story. The love story is not shallow, i did not mean like that. i am saying that there is more to this book than just a prince and a poor girl. this book is so- for lack of a better word- awesome/cool/new/weird. and i love it.
-----------i wrote the previous part of the review when i was on page 336 of 387....thought id try something new with my review. lol
and now.........
OMAGOSH this book is amazing. oh, the ending was so good. i cannot wait to see what happens next! ah! this book is sad, cute, funny, weird, and just so dang interesting. ! :D :D :D :D :D love it. <3
:D :D :D :D :D
