Cinder (The Lunar Chronicles, #1)

fairy tales were not something that i was told as a child. my only experience with them was through disney films, so retellings arent usually something i gravitate towards, but this series has been recommended to me so many times, i thought ‘why not?’ and surprisingly, i wasnt disappointed.
i liked how even though i knew the general story of cinderella, this book followed a plot line that felt new and exciting to me. i thought the sci-fi perspective was a great improvement. the writing was a little simplistic, but it made it very easy to breeze through this. i thought cinder was a wonderful character (even if certain aspects of her story were extremely predictable) and found her to be very relatable.
i know the following books each have their own fairy tale twist, but are still connected as a whole, so im looking forward to see how the series plays out! in particular, ive heard about thorne. im quite fond of kai at the moment, so im interested to see what all the fuss is about. :P
↠ 3.5 stars
