I’m not listing anything because there is nothing in this book I disliked. I think it’s safe to say, this book is one of its kind. Now, two years later, I can admit that I’ve read few YA books based on such a concept. When I first read Cinder, I had never read something like this before. Concept : Finally, I have to talk about the base or the concept of the story. That transforms the book from a one-dimensional thing to something which has substance.Ĥ. I love how the book explores different aspects of parent-child relationship, and mainly, sibling-relationship and also – friendship. I mean, it’s there, not as much as it should be.
YA fantasy lacks mother-daughter or sibling relationship. Family-tropes explored : I love it when YA books (especially YA fantasy) can include familial relationships and pay attention to them. It wasn’t cheesy or stupid or flimsy – it was perfect.ģ. It was just a backstory, but even as a backstory, Meyer did justice to the romance. In fact, I loved how Meyer could keep the story separate from the romance, and didn’t make the romance the story. I just loved the hints of romance added in here, and yet I can safely say that romance isn’t one of the major issues of the books. Forbidden Romance trope : I’m a sucker for the forbidden romance trope. I really liked how well it resembled Cinderella and yet managed to stand out as an invidividual storyline.Ģ. It is gripping enough to keep you going, and lays the foundation of the series well. It is engaging, easy enough to wrap your head around without going into any kind of complication, and has just the perfect amount of mystery element to it. It was good first book, not a bang – but promising and sets a strong base for the rest of the series to develop.
I mainly picked this up because the first time I read this series – I never got around to reading Winter (book 4, which released last year) and this time – I plan to read all 4 books and complete the series.
This time around, I was expecting to like it less, maybe because I thought my reading tastes had ‘grown’ but nope – this book is still as good and enjoyable as it was two years ago. I loved this book when I read it back in 2014. Caught between duty and freedom, loyalty and betrayal, she must uncover secrets about her past in order to protect her world’s future. But when her life becomes intertwined with the handsome Prince Kai’s, she suddenly finds herself at the center of an intergalactic struggle, and a forbidden attraction. She’s a second-class citizen with a mysterious past, reviled by her stepmother and blamed for her stepsister’s illness. No one knows that Earth’s fate hinges on one girl.Ĭinder, a gifted mechanic, is a cyborg. From space, a ruthless lunar people watch, waiting to make their move. Humans and androids crowd the raucous streets of New Beijing.
