A wonderful reimagining

This book is the first in the series. This book was on my list for awhile, but I had been holding off reading it. I’m glad I finally did. It was a fast paced adventure with a sprinkle of romance. It had me rooting for Cinder the whole time, and there were enough twists to keep everything interesting. The villain was good, though I think she could have been given stonger motives. This was a fantastic retelling of an old fairytale, with an awesome sci-fi twist. I would highly recommend it.

Compelling read. I picked it up in the morning because book 2 was on order and it was finished by that night. All in, it was around a 5 hour read. (0 more)

It was a great read that I didn't want to put down. The tale of Joe is an imaginative one and you want to keep reading to find out what is going to happen between he and Beck next. Lots of swearing and sex scenes so it is not suitable at all for younger audiences. It is a thrilling view of what people may really be thinking about in the real world without you knowing about it.
