The Review
✨ The Title/Cover Draw:
- I have had this book for awhile and I think I tried to read it once before. I needed it for a prompt for the book club so I picked it up again.
💜 What I liked:
- It was easy to read this and similar to Cinderella. But the changes were very creative. I liked a lot of the main character and her integrity.
😱 What I didn’t like:
- It seemed like while the ending did cliffhang into the next book, it did it in a weird place. I felt like I really wanted a tad more before the next book. But I suppose that makes me want to read book two even more.
💁♀️ The Characters:
- Cinder and her sisters Pansy and Peony live with her step-mother. Kai is the price of their area. There is also another group of people from the moon.
🚦 The Ending:
- It was a very nail biting, leave you wanting ending.
💥 ****Spoilers****

💬 The Narrator:
- A
💭 Reminds me of:
- Cinderella with Asian influences set in the future.
