I felt pretty much the same way about Cinder, and I too picked it up late, around this past Christmas, which was fantastic because the wait is shorter! wooot! Also part of your review sparked an idea for my own WIP, so that was awesome.

I'm also fascinated with the re-invention of fairy tales and seeing that 'Hansel and Gretel' movie will be coming soon, I'm curious how that was re-worked.

I was really hesitant about picking up Cinder because I tend to be harsh with retellings but I was blown away with Cinder and her younger step sister. It was nice to see that she had someone on her side. I agree with Kai, I wanted so much more from him, but I can't wait to see more from Scarlet!Jolene and Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430221887990969543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781966284013710689.post-21738627251752421142013-01-22T09:45:35.330-05:002013-01-22T09:45:35.330-05:00I preordered my copy as soon as I was done.

Yes, your dog and you may have been the last ones not to read it, but now thankfully it's just your dog. ;) Cinder is such a unique take on the classic fairytale!! And yes, totally with you on Kai. Wolf IS more in the next book if that makes sense. Maybe it doesn't. :P I suck at hints that make sense. ;) Scarlet will be on its way to you next week! WOO! YAY!

I know what you mean, I tend to shy away from hugely hyped books too, I didn't pick up Divergent for months and months because I was petrified I'd hate in and be all alone in my Divergent failure. Luckily that wasn't the case:) I'm glad Cinder wasn't that way for you either. The world building was simply phenomenal and I can't wait to see what you think of Scarlet. Kai's not in it very much so there's not much time for him to grow on you, but I adored it just the same. Maybe book 3 will bring us more Kai.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781966284013710689.post-88832115059428312752013-01-21T11:16:02.130-05:002013-01-21T11:16:02.130-05:00Thanks for the review, it is very informative and ...Thanks for the review, it is very informative and greatly written!Alina Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18373709412675787965noreply@blogger.com
