If you love Fairytale Retellings, Sci-fi and Young Adult (YA) books, then this book is a must! Actually, even if you are like me who wasn't much of a Sci-fi fan, this book could possibly change that. I absolutely love this series. Its so much fun to read. I highly recommend it.

The plot kept me turning pages like wow I finished it in Iike 24 hours! I expected a Cinderella alike story but thankfully its not! The world Marissa Meyer created is so unique and refreshing featuring some original fairytale elements and the characters are very well built. The writing style is very descriptive no wonder many people comment they can see a movie version of it!

You don't have to love Cinderella or cyborgs to love this book.
