Review: Cinder by Marissa Meyer

Review: Cinder by Marissa Meyer

A cyborg Cinderella….really?! So that was my initial reaction a few years back when Cinder by hit the shelves. In fact, if I’m being honest, that was my reaction to ALL fairy tale retellings. My thoughts were why mess up a good story. Well, I’m here to confess something to you… Cinder is just…I was just so…OMG!!! […]
