Book Review! Cinder by Marissa Meyer ~ Kyle

Gather around all Androids and Cyborgs and Emperor's and evil Queens! Today my book review is on the wildly popular Lunar Chronicles: Cinder by Marissa Meyer.

*** WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW! ***

Wow. "Wow" and "oh my God" are the only ways which I can describe this fantastic book! Literally, it is unlike anything I have EVER read! 

When I first heard about this book, I was skeptical, because I'm not a sci-fi person (even though I've read books such as The 5th Wave and The Host) I've never been crazy about it. I've seen the cover's to this series flooded on Instagram and Tumblr and ever Barnes & Noble I've gone. And truth be told...I wish I could go back in time and smack myself with a Louis Vuitton bag.

THIS BOOK WAS AMAZING! I loved the concept of taking the Disney stories like Repunzel, Little Red Riding Hood, Cinder and Snow White and combining them into this sci-fi adventure! And before I started Cinder, I re-watched Cinderella (the cartoon version) since I forgot everything that happened other than the mean stepsisters and stepmother and the glass slipper. After watching it, my reaction was: CHILDHOOD RUINED! Honestly: a cat named "Lucifer"? Every time I saw him, all I could think of was satin...great way to remember your favorite childhood movies by knowing one of the antagonist's was named after the devil. And I also noticed something...the movie had distinctive first's: the mice being the first Alvin & the Chipmunks and the first Chipette's. Another first: the stepmother and stepsisters were the first Kardashian's with their snotty attitudes and emphases on the butt with anything they wore!!

Phew, okay, enough with that and onto the book! 

I loved the book's writing style! The way Marissa Meyer writes transformed the most boring part's of the book, to the most entertaining! The concept of the android's and cyborgs coexisting together, even with the societies prejudice's, was so intriguing. Especially learning about the Lunar's on the moon was so EPIC! Honestly, who want's to live on the moon? I would! (Minus all the creepy glamour and illusional powers) 

I ship Cinder and Kai all the way till the end of this book and I hope they stay together till the end! The Queen? Psh, please, you can't fool anybody: Cinder is aware of you glamour and can control it...so doesn't that technically make her divergent? xD 

My only thing about this book that made me annoyed was at the end when Cinder feel down the stairs and lost her foot and hand. Then Kai is all like "eh...no, your even more painful to look at than she is."...Exqueeze me?! I don't know if he meant it as a joke, which it didn't come across as one, but it made me upset. I shipped them, then when Kai finds out she's a cyborg, he's okay with it, but once he see's the mechanical part of her, he's like "ew, no!" Seriously? And he gives Cinder up to Queen Levana, which was not what I had expected, given most of the time in stories, they love each other so much they wouldn't dare give their loved one up. This made me doubt their relationship but I still ship them, just not as crazy about it as I use to. 

I give this book 4.5/5 stars! 

Before I had picked up this book, just by Erin and my friend's telling me about it, I had a gut feeling telling me that this was gonna be one of my all-time favorite book series...and it IS! :) This series is unlike anything else I've ever read and it is truly amazing! I'm so excited to pick up Scarlet next (: (My review for that will be up sometime next week)
