I recently finished this book for the second time (September 16, 2015, since GR won't let me record more than one finish date) as an audiobook, to test out my audiobook skills. They're still terrible.
This book remains a 3-star. I liked Cinder, and I really liked Dr. Erland. I could have done with less mooning over Price Kai by everyone. There was also one particular line I didn't like (paraphrasing): “If not for her unruly hair, she would have been pretty”. If only you would comb your hair, Cinder/disembodied narrator would have found your appearance pleasing! Also the whole Disney/fairy tale trope of good people being pretty and bad people being ugly. Queen Levana is using glamour to convince people that she's good looking, because she's evil, and therefore can't possibly be good looking on her own.
I'm definitely going to read the next one.
