Review: Cinder was a surprising read for me, I had heard a lot about the book but didn't pick it up because I am not a big fan of classic fairy tales being retold. I finally decided to give it a try when it came out in paperback and read it right away and what a read it was! The book is a really quick read and flows really well. The characters are well developed and I fell in love with Cinder, Peony and Iko! Iko has to be my favorite supporting character in a book since Dobby, I loved every scene she was in.
The evil stepmother was just that, evil. She was just one of the villains in the book and was really well written. The other villain is Queen Levana. She is the perfect villain and has the potential to become a classic villain.
However, I did have a few minor problems with the book. This will have a minor spoiler below!

Overall, I really enjoyed the book and am looking forward to the reading the rest of the series! 4.5/5 Stars
PS. The sequel, Scarlet, is out now!
