Cinder by Marissa Meyer is nothing you'd expect.
I had book hangover for about a week and half after this.
Seriously though, real talk. I don't particularly like Cinderella. I mean, it's great and all but it's not a movie that I'll go and watch in my free time because I feel like watching it. So I had bought this book back when it first started getting talked about. It was before Cress came out I believe, could be earlier than that though.
Anyway, I hadn't picked it up until now and I really wish I waited or at least read it earlier. I loved it so much. Too much to be honest.
It still has that second-hand embarrassment that I hate but it was wonderful and I'd read it again and again. But first I need to read Scarlet.
Since I didn't think I was going to like this book, I didn't buy Scarlet before-hand. Good job to me. Looks like I'm going to have to wait until Easter. Scarlet is going to be the first book I buy when lent is over.
I gave it a 4 star rating on Goodreads, but it's more like a 4.9 to be honest. Mostly just because what Cinder did at the ball frustrated me to no end and because Emperor Kai doesn't really think. I mean he does, but he needs to think more logically. For real.
I could rant about it but I won't. That would mean spoilers for you and I promised to try hard to not do that.
Please read this book if you haven't. It's worth the hype. Also read it when you're not on a book-buying-ban so you can get the next one. Or you may suffer just as I am right now.
If you'd like me to read/ review a book, just leave a comment below! I'll try not to give too many spoilers or give too much away while reviewing the books, but if I do, also let me know so I can give warnings to anyone who hasn't read the books before. I appreciate all feedback, but please be respectful on constructive criticism.
Everyone's opinions are valuable so please don't make anyone feel terrible for having their own opinion on a book. Just because it's different from yours does not mean it's the wrong opinion.
