I got mixed feeling about this book from other book blogger friends of mine, so I decided to read it. I found the concept of 7 of 9 meets Cinderella in a dystopian atmosphere. This gave a whole new twist to a classic tale. I have gotten really into reading dystopia and what I like the most about dystopia is how the novels are never the same. The dystopia authors come up with so many different story ideas. Since I read Cinder, I thought the idea for this dystopia was very intriguing. I find this a fun and entertaining read. I'm am not really an avid fan of sci-fi. This book is like Star Wars. The plot is pretty much like what happens in other books, and has the slightest retelling of Cinderella with a lot of humor. The characters even act like robots.
