Cinder

I really liked the setting even though it's a little ridiculous. But as a sci-fi take on a fairytale world it works really well. There's even an evil queen and a sort of enchanting "magic" which in this world isn't magic. Even though I saw the big reveal coming from very early on in the book it was still very captivating. It ends with a cliffhanger. There are some elements where I'm not sure if they'll be addressed well over the course of the series. I definetely want to read the next one, though.

Any update that casts Cinderella as more than a passive trophy to be saved and won is a vast improvement in my books.
