this is just a great fun trilogy. Drama, love stories, some tears, and a really wonderful plot. This is exactly the type of thing I am looking for when I pick up YA books. It's not written too stilted or juvenile, but it's a quick, entertaining read. This one followed the Rapunzel storyline, as a retelling. And I had totally forgotten the blindness piece of it, but what happened to Thorne totally brought it back. And the technology to bring his sight back brought the story fully around. Well crafted really. Plus, Kai and Cinder back together is really encouraging as well. Now it's just to see where Scarlet and Wolf end up. Plus the end of Levana and Winter's story. Which I wager is going to parallel Snow White. We'll see though. Great pacing and a really solid third installation. I can't wait for the wrap up. Despite my original misgivings about the cyborg piece of this story, I'm really glad I got into it. It acknowledges a whole wider set of equality issues that is an extra bonus on top of the normal YA drama and fairy tale retellings. I like how everything has woven together so far. Here we go onto the big finale!
