This is light read in a great setting. I love fairy tale retellings and this one is really special. It is the future! Cyborgs! Androids! What a extraordinary idea! Marissa Meyer tells her story very logical - the evil behavior from Cinder's stepmother and stepsister. Her status as someone who's not "worth" living the same life as the "normal" people. Her relationship to Prince Kai is also not a love at first sight - one dance and we are in love! They get to know each other in a normal, realistic (more or less) way. When Cinder lost her whole foot, I was literally laughing out loud! Haha!
The only thing which bothered me (if you can talk about bothering) is the fact that the story was very foreseeable. No news were surprising, you could guess very early what this is all about.
Nevertheless, I cannot wait to read the next books which have Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel and Snow White as main characters. Yay! But not yay that book 4 is not out yet...
