I read this book when I was 14 and loved it and I still love it at 22. It’s a pretty easy read but still fun and I like everything it sets up for future books. I love Cinder, she’s such a good Cinderella interpretation. She wants to get away from her abusive family and focus on freedom but she’s not immune to falling in love. She has a job she’s good at but she’s not girlbossified *cough* Camilla Cabello *cough*.
I love scifi and this is so far the only fairytale YA retelling I’ve really liked. Also, kind of a weird feeling reading this book in 2021. The plague and all.
