Cinder by Marissa Meyer
3.0

For all the hype I’ve seen for this book I’m sad I didn’t enjoy it more. I listened to it on audiobook and I’m so glad I didn’t try to read it normally because I would have called it quits so fast. The audiobook kept me engaged for the most part but I did lose focus sometimes. Definitely didn’t see the twist coming about Cinder being lunar but after that I could see that she was the lost princess from a mile away. I appreciated this story having POC main characters and a fresh take on “Cinderella”. I bought this entire series on sale at one point awhile back so I’m sure I’ll read the rest eventually. Definitely not binge worthy for me though.
