I picked up this book for the sake of an entertaining read and I was thoroughly entertained. I dedicated the whole weekend to finish this 400 page book after finishing up my chores. It took my mind off things. I was giggling and sitting at my desk just flipping through the pages. Sometimes that’s all I need from a book. 

My another current read is a book on human psychology which is making me think about harsh stuffs and next read is going to remind me how misogynistic the society is. So before that I got my mind soothed with a book where we have a cyborg heroine shunned by society, a Prince charming and an evil Queen. However this book read like a first book of a 6 part instalment series and I am hoping to see more of this world and good progress of the story. 

I liked Cinder a lot. I understand that she had to discover a lot about herself in just one book so I am keeping my hope of any development of hers in the next book. I liked Kai but that kid needs to grow a spine. I also feel giving the Lunars power to compel people at their whim and Lunars themselves being unable to fight their own illusion (except shells) seems too convenient for the sake of story building. The massive advantage the Lunar Queen has on Earthens and her still not waging war for years and only focusing on Commonwealth again seems way too convenient. A lot is of questions are building up. What is the extent of a Lunars power? How did they came to being? If there are cyborgs, androids and robots and netlink, then what other scientific marvel would we read about? The world building could have been more sophisticated. I’m still holding out my hope for the next book.
