 Well. This was a good surprise. 
 I had heard of the series before, and all I knew was it was fairytale retellings. This book was actually really cool because I could see where the inspiration was but it had gone in a completely unexpected yet interesting direction. 
 I knew what was coming at the end there. So I'm excited on where that's going. 
 Cinder is a cool character. I immediately knew I was going to like her. 
 I thought Kai and everything there was predictable but I didn't mind it. If anything it seemed a bit unnatural and fast, but hey, I have no idea how long the timeline was so I'm just rolling with it. It could have been days, it could have been weeks, I just don't know for sure. 
 There was a part I was confused about to do with cinder's lunar powers. Did she light a fire? Did her circuit blow? Up The whole thing with the lock chip just confused me slightly. Probably because I'm sleep deprived but whatever. 
 My favourite part was probably when she finds out she's a lunar, or the bits with peony in. I liked peony. I think that was a good thing to do, and the character development there was cool. 
 The doctor dude looks like he's going to be cool, and he has been a pretty significant character. 
 Queen Levana is a weird villain, and the lunar powers I don't really understand. I guess more is coming from her, hopefully including motive and depth. 
 Robots are cool. The whole robot thing is cool. I like mechanic stuff. 
 Generally stuff could have been more developed I guess. There was a lot of throwing woods around that you have to kind of make up. Even if it had just been a paragraph of setting description it would have helped. 
 Also to have something definitive actually happen, because it all kind of blurred together in a jumble of conversations about the same thing so I don't rally remember many specifics. 
 Overall pretty good. Not mind blowing, but I enjoyed it.
