I don't know what I was expecting picking up this book for a challenge. Surely I didn't think I was going to enjoy some futuristic retelling of Cinderella. But I did. Despite the plot "twists" being too predictable, I still found myself interested in the story (well, there were some hiccups, but what the hell) and I really liked Cinder (and Iko), and it was a very fast read too. 
 And although I doubt I'll ever return to this book again, I'm certainly looking forward to reading the next of the Lunar Chronicles series. 
 3.5 stars.
