Caught between duty and freedom, loyalty and betrayal, she must uncover secrets about her past in order to protect her world’s future.

My Review:

This book was marvelous. I had a hankering for more. I absolutely loved this book. I am so excited to start the next book. There was so much that happened that I remembered at the end that this is just the beginning. I cannot wait to start the next books in the series, I have no idea what is to come and I am ecstatic to start them.  

- Cinder
I love Cinder's character. She is an amazing main character to read about. She is caring and is not afraid to stand up for herself. Although, I do wish she was a little more considerate at what was said to her, I know it is a lot to take in but she overreacted way too much. I am thrilled to see what she does in the next book.  

- Kai
Oh my god, I was speechless at the end. I love Kai so much from the beginning but the end turned me, I don't know why he said what he said but the boy better get his act together. The Kai in the beginning: I thought he was an awesome character and very caring. He was persistent and was a great male character, but now I do not know what to expect from him.  

Overall, I thought this book was very unique. This retelling of Cinderella is fantastic. A cyborg Cinderella? First I heard of that, anyone else? I do not know what is coming for the next book but I know it has to be good. There is so much that could happen and I am just anxious to start it. I loved this book!
