I enjoyed this a surprising amount. I do really like fairy tale retellings, but Cinderella isn't one of my favorites and I haven't ever read science fiction, but I really liked this. The story was obvious and generic, but honestly I found myself not caring that I know what the big plot twist in the end was going to be. It was still a fun journey getting there. This was such a fast read for me. Immediately engrossing and fun and despite the predictability, a really good introduction into sci-fi for me. I'm really excited to read the rest of the series now.
