I think this is by all means one of my favourite story retelling. 
 Some similarities tied into a great way without being overly cliche and with some fresh additions.. 
 I love how the author has weaved in some of the other fairytales to finish this main story with the next instalments. It makes me very happy to directly pick up the next one and continue. 
 Cinder is awesome! Even though she has a lot of sh*t on her plate, she doesnt mope for to long. Absolutely love Iko (who takes on a similar role to the mice in disney's Cinderella). 
 Kai, well he is definitely taking it all in his stride too. I love that he is trying to find some escape to his whole situation but at the same time man enough to face what he has to do. 
 Overall, it is a fantastic story, I can not believe this has been in my 'to read' for so long! Everyone, read it now :D
