I actually got through this on Audiobook since my library doesn't offer the regular e-version of the book (ugh whyyyyyy). So this was a new experience for me. I felt like it went so slow, mainly because it took 11 or so hours to get through and I was sitting here feeling like I could read faster than this. So it was slightly frustrating. I found myself needing to do something while I listened, too, which sometimes lead me off track and having to back-track because I stopped paying attention. I guess I'm not an audio learner!! (I knew that actually) 
 BUT THE STORY was great. I loved that everything began intertwining by the end. Thorne was pretty annoying at first, but I came to enjoy the character by the end of the book. Cinder was badass like always and Scarlet felt insta-love with the Wolf of the book who (view spoiler)[betrays and then un-betrays here but then almost kills her???? I don't know about this one. I almost would have rather he just stayed an ass. (hide spoiler)] I was kind of confused about the mighty morphin' wolf-like-but-still-human-killing-machines... (view spoiler)[the mind control thing (hide spoiler)] (it) kind of fell flat for me a little bit. And there were lots of indications as to what they were but I don't know. It's just hard for me to buy into. Cyborgs? Absolutely. Mind-control people? Sure. Wolf/humans? What?? 
 I did enjoy it though!! I think I want to go back and actually read it, though. It's a whole different experience to me... which is weird because I literally heard the story?? I don't know. Maybe audio books just aren't my thing?
