Thanks for the review. I don't think this one's for me though.

Great review! I'm going to a Marissa Meyer signing on Thursday but I haven't read it yet.

Yeah, it sounded intriguing but a gritty sci-fi dystopian cyborg fairytale rebbot with an Asian setting seems like it might be straining the limits of plausible genre-crosses.

Love ya!

Wonderful review! I can't wait to read this one I just bought it last week. :D

I was initially drawn to Cinder b/c of the cover (shallow, I know). Once I read the synopsis, I had a strong suspicion this book is not for me. I'm not the biggest fan of dystopian to begin with, but when you add all the other pieces, it just sounds like too much for me.
Great review, as usual!

2012-01-19T21:06:57.473-05:00

That sequel makes me nervous too. So much was left hanging for Cinder and Kai but maybe the people who help them will be from a different fairy tale?? I guess that could be cool. I just hope the story isn't spread too thin.
I didn't love Cinder but I enjoyed it enough to see what happens next.

I have been reading a few of these retellings and multiple genre in one books recently so maybe that played a part in it.
I really loved the whole idea of Cinder being a cyborg and the dystopian elements.
I'm not even sure why but I lost interest when we didn't learn more about Kai and the Lunars and the story veered more towards the fairy tale side. I did like the ending though so I would probably check out the next book.

I think the BIG reveal was so obvious that she probably meant for it to be that way but it took some of the mystery away for me but still it is a super cool concept.
That sequel makes me a little nervous too. There is so much left up in the air at the end of Cinder.
Thanks for your comment - I know you enjoyed it - I read your great review for it the other day.

I think it's worth giving it a try. A lot of people really loved it. I can be a fussy reader :-)

2012-01-19T20:55:05.925-05:00

The retellings have been fun but I haven't found one that worked really well for me mainly because they seem to mix up to 5 genres in one book & it gets to much imo.

2012-01-19T20:53:08.142-05:00

I think it was a good book - it just didn't blow me away as much as it did for others. Still worth reading :-)

2012-01-19T14:06:42.416-05:00

Great, honest review. I actually have a comment on the foreshadowing bit about Cinder. I figured "it" out in the first forty five pages. =/ I was a little sad about it, but at the same time, I was really interested in seeing where the author would take Cinder on her journey.

The sequel actually scares me a bit. I don't know if there will be any more of Cinder's story. From the synopsis, it doesn't sound like it. But I don't know.

Again, great review.

I just finished Cinder and will be reviewing it on...

2012-01-19T14:01:45.989-05:00

I just finished Cinder and will be reviewing it on my blog next week. I probably liked it better than you seemed to, though. I guess I kind of figured out who/what Cinder is about halfway through...maybe a bit later, but it didn't ruin the story for me. Maybe because I haven't read a lot of this genre, but the whole thing fascinated me. I can't wait for the next one! I enjoyed your review.

2012-01-19T12:42:17.840-05:00

Wonderful, Karen. I totally get where you're coming from. I did guess some thIngs early on which really excited me, but now that I read your review, I realize when those things were actually revealed, I was less excited because I already knew.

I'm interested in the next book, but I'm also a little wary now that I know it's going to mix in another fairy tale character. It makes me wonder if it will be too cluttered and how the rest of Cinder's story could possibly be played out.

Glad you enjoyed this read, I've heard lots of good things about it. Not too sure if its my cup of tea or not as I'm usually not too keen on the retelling of my childhood favourites ..... still, never say never, I may well give this one a chance.

2012-01-19T11:07:32.090-05:00

I've heard great things about Cinder. It's nice to read a review that isn't just raving. Isn't it frustrating when a book everyone else loves isn't 100% for you? I'm not sure how I'll feel about it but I can see the genre getting in the way a bit.
