Things I liked:
1) I thought this story was unique. It definately was a different spin to what Cinderella stories normally are.
2) Prince Kai- I get why alot of people liked him. I think he was my favorite in this story.
3) The writing was done well. It got you into the world without giving fluff type information which I am not a fan of most of the time.
Things I Was Not Fond Of:
1) I felt like the plot was a bit weak. It may be just me but there really was not much going on most of the time and I found it boring.
2) Cinder- I liked that she was sarcastic but found her to be rather whiny at times. I also that she was rather annoying as well.
