Jan 30, 2019
While it is a name I had heard before, I have to say it's not a story that I was familiar with (unlike that of, say, Robin Hood or King Arthur) - this, however, I actually found to be rather a dry read.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Cinder in Books

I liked the story but wasn't blown away by it. It kept me reading but at the same time I wasn't completely absorbed into it, like I am most other stories.
The thing between Cinder and Kai was cute, I just wish their had been more scenes of them together in the book.
I'm intrigued by what will happen in the next book, and maybe at some point I'll buy it and read it.
