I enjoy this series the further into it I get! I have to admit when I read Cinder I was a bit skeptical of the hype, but after Scarlet and Cress it has really grown on me. The characters are all so distinct and mesh well together. I love the whole "found family" vibe. I'm so glad Kai is with them now and I can't wait to see how his and Cinder's relationship progresses. I also desperately want them to find <Spoiler> Scarlett </Spoiler>. I'm eager to read Fairest and learn more about Levana's backstory and maybe learn why she is so hateful. Overall this is a fun series that is full of fairytale vibes mixed nonstop action.
