I had my doubts about this book, but as soon as I got to know Cinder more my whole viewpoint changed.

Cinder is an amazing character.  She was insecure about being cyborg and {that thing that I can't say * spoiler*}.

Cinder has character motivation.  She was motivated to find a cure for her stepsister {who had letumosis} 

and fixing her getaway car.  

When you read this book you will fell like you are in the story.  When Cinder has adrenaline rushes; you also have them.

At the end of the book {last fifty pages} my heart was about to beat right out of my chest.

My reactions:

"Oh, no! Cinder!"

"Kai! Are you Crazy!?"

"YAY!!!"

"Oh thank heavens!"

"I KNEW IT!"

Cinder will make you feel the feels.  I loved it!

four out of five stars.
