Cinder had quite an interesting plot, but it was unnecessarily prolonged. I zoned out 3 times in different days while reading it. There were some chapters where I totally got attached to the story and some chapters which were oddly boring. I was very unsatisfied by the ending but the suspense overwhelmed me. If you would like to finish a book very slowly; Cinder would be your best choice. I would give it a 2.5 out of 5.
