My Thoughts:
- The story and characters are brilliant!! This is such a unique twist on a classic fairy tale that has been re-told countless times! Meyer has brought the story back to life!
- I love the font. It's so different, but still easy to read. Plus it looks really cool.
- A lying sensor would be very useful, but I wouldn't want everyone to have one, just me.
- The plot was predictable. I figured it out really early in the book, but the story is still great, and it kept me captivated.
- It ends with a bit of a cliffhanger! Grrrr!! I'm angry that I have to wait for the 2nd book to find out what happens!!!!!
- I loved all the characters! Even the evil characters, they are the kind that you love to hate. I hope justice is served in a very brutal manner! I LOVED Cinder! She is a girl I can really relate too. I enjoyed her attitude and confidence. I also liked Prince Kai! He is a wonderful knight in shining armor type protagonist.
- I didn't have a ton of thoughts while reading, I just enjoyed the story and let it take me along for the ride. It was a really fun read!
