Cinder

Oh my! This book was so good. Inspired by Cinderella, but with a totally new look, was just perfect. The new technology was not overehelming. The romance was light, which is perfect for book 1. The new order of the world was well explained without being heavy handed or just a monologue of facts. The ‘secret' in this book I figured out about halfway through and was delighted to see how the other characters discovered it. I was discovering all the nods to the original Cinderella story or the other versions there of.
I can't wait to get my hands on book 2.
