So I have seen so many people being in love with this book! But for me the whole retelling of fairytale somehow sounded blaaah. Like this TV Show Once Upon a Time or something like that. I really don't like fairytale, I just don't. But when so many people were talking about it I was like...okay let's seen what is all the fuss about.
OMG, guys! This book was sooooo good! I loved it so so much! But yes, alright, let's start from the beginning.
The book is about this cyborg Cinder who is in a way our Cinderella. There is of course a prince and evil stepmother...there is also sorta an evil witch and similar things that we find in Cinderella fairytale. But that is about it. The world in this book is set in the city which was formed after World War IV and currently is dawning in plague. There is of course no cure. Plus the Luna which is a race of creatures living on the moon who can manipulate your mind is threatening Earth with war. It is just so good guys, so good!
PLUS: Everything. The way characters are created, the building of the world...the plot itself. It is crazy and awesome at the same time! And queen Levana...so so scary!
MINUS: It is short. I finished the book in like two days and ordered the next one straight away. This book when you read it leaves you just crawling for more.
Okay so I know I haven't really said much except that it is good. The reason really is that I really do not want to spoil anything for you, guys. So I will leave this to be a short review with one and only message for you to take home - read this book if you haven't yet. Read it NOW!!!
