I'm not ...I picked up Cinder only recently too. I'm not a huge sci-fan fan so even after reading how amazing the series is, I wasn't interested until Cress came out. Felt like kicking myself after reading Cinder for waiting so long to start on the series. Glad to see you liked it too.

It's the best when that happens! This series keeps getting better and better, so wait until you get to Scarlet and Cress! But I really like this sentence of yours: "The world Marissa Meyer has created is mind-blowing because it's crafted with original ideas even to the tiniest details and still manages to remind you the original story of Cinderella and Prince Charming." THIS is exactly why I love this series so much. The way Meyer is able to weave original fairy tale details into her own unique world and plot, keeps these stories feeling fresh. It makes me so happy to see your review!Lauren @ Love is not a trianglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15388832613855107816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8957870564580513499.post-52514496467452090622014-02-14T20:59:36.604+02:002014-02-14T20:59:36.604+02:00Yay, another person who love this series!

I was kind of hesitant to touch this as well, but it's that kind of series where each book gets better than the previous one, and the first was already a blast!

I didn't LOVE this one as much as she did - though I still very much enjoyed it and gave it a 4 star so I think the pacing issues you had might have happened to me as well (it's been a while now so I don't quite recall lol) but I'm excited for you to read the rest! Cress is my favorite so far! <3Gisellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16953187386418088952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8957870564580513499.post-52144431584119295542014-02-14T04:16:14.211+02:002014-02-14T04:16:14.211+02:00Soooo many people love this book but I just can...Soooo many people love this book but I just can't bring myself to pick it up.

Other books were more appealing to me at the time so I left this one in the dust. With all of the praise this series is getting, I really do want to try getting into it. I also do love myself a good fairy tale retelling.

This is only a few books though, mostly before I started blogging and really reading a lot. <br />I have a signed and personalized hardcover, the ebook and the audiobook of this one. Still haven't read it. Oops. I'm definitely going with the audiobook route soon. I was going to hear this next but I'm gonna postpone it for a romance. I'm excited to get started on this series!Nereyda @Nick and Nereydas Infinite Booklisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05068688280866239189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8957870564580513499.post-22563540889523954572014-02-13T16:44:46.989+02:002014-02-13T16:44:46.989+02:00Out of the series, this one was my least favorite....Out of the series, this one was my least favorite. I liked it, but I didn't bother to pick up Scarlet until recently and I regretted it so much because Scarlet was absolutely brilliant. I think you're going to like Cress better than this as well because Cress is so different.<br />I'm glad you gave it a 2nd chance. It happened to me with Losing It by Cora Carmack. I picked it up shortly after it was released and I was so bored by it. And then I picked it up again and it ended up blowing me away.<br />Lovely review, Siiri.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8957870564580513499.post-49188422836550980842014-02-13T15:55:17.834+02:002014-02-13T15:55:17.834+02:00Wow, am I glad that you picked up the book a secon...Wow, am I glad that you picked up the book a second time because this series is freaking awesome! It really gets better as you continue on. Can't wait for Winter to come out :D<br />I do agree, there are a lot of random technology things that I didn't always understand, but I do feel it was necessary- added to the building of Cinder's character :)Narahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09378806643397167349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8957870564580513499.post-86628644221764568952014-02-13T14:50:43.332+02:002014-02-13T14:50:43.332+02:00Lovely review Siiri, I'm glad you've final...Lovely review Siiri, I'm glad you've finally seen the light!
