Can I give this more than 5 stars? No seriously, I loved this book. It was so much fun to read that I couldn't put it down. There wasn't ridiculous drama or silly characters. Everyone was written well and acted within their character. The stepsister and stepmother were mean as heck and had me yelling at the book towards the end, but they also had their reasons besides plain' ol' hating Cinder. Also, all the sci-fi twists to the Cinderella story worked really well! And the Lunar Princess, UGH! She is a character you just love to hate, the little brat. Again, she was a well-written character because I couln't stop ranting about her to my confused fiance. He also said I was blaspheming when I said this book is better than Hunger Games. Yes, I stand by this exclamation, I liked it that much!
