Glitches is satisfactorily sad - and a short but poignant look at life of a newly "hatched" cyborg. "Little Android" was way better. I do like this world Meyer has created. I might just stick it through and read the series.

Plot/Storyline/Themes:
Cinder is destined to be hated here. There's a commentary in this, subtle but there. New Beijing is awful for the Cyborg just becayse of Adri but then again Cinders life was ruined in a Hover crash in Europe and they sold her, an 11 year old kid to some stranger so it's lemons on lemons on either side for Cinder🤷🏻‍♀️.

Two Sentences, A Scene or less - Characters:
Adriwas bloody exhausting by page two. Wish there was a special place in hell for people like Adri but alas, there's no hell just here and now.
PearlPearl Pearl. I can't even go there.
Peony was utterly adorable, expected of the younger sibling.
Garan was haunted from the beginning.
And Cinder. Poor Cinder

Favorite/Curious/Ludicrous/Unique Scene: :
A girl becomes cyborg becomes mechanical engineer all to impress a bigot stepmother who'll probably never love her. But the moment she fixes Iko is bursting with hope.
Favorite/Curious/Ludicrous/Unique Quotes:
🖤 “If only it worked. If only she could show to Adri, and even Garan, that she wasn’t a useless addition to their family after all. That she was grateful they’d taken her in when no one else would. That she wanted to belong to them.” (This is why I hate Adri)
