JUMP TO WHAT I THINK ABOUT THE CHARACTERS/TEASERS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED.THE SPOILER REVIEW IS AFTER THIS.
Warning - Spoiler!
Reading Process - I had marked a decent amount of page numbers.
Page 68 : "I won't go. Scientists have done enough for me already!" Aww, I'm sorry Cinder. You have to go...You'll be forced to with force...
Page 79 : "Don't fret, Miss Linh. You are doing your fellow citizens a great service by being here."
She glared at the mirror, hoping she was glaring at the jerk on the other side, "Yeah? And what'd they ever do for me?" Omg,Go Cinder. What DID they ever do for you?Omg. So unfair.Haha.Well,life is unfair anyway..So you have to suck it up even though it's not fair.

Page 165 : " I - I'm sorry," she stammered. "Thank you - I . . . Thank you, Your highness. But I must respectfully decline." Wait,Whatttt?! I mean, I understand you escaping and all that,but did you just reject the highness's request to go to the ball with him?WHAT?!
Page 168 : "That was something of a risk. You do understand that people aren't supposed to leave once they arrive, don't you?" Hahaha,Well, she did leave,so keep your mouth shut.
Page 209 : "Right," said Kai," that'll be no problem in a city of two and a half million people. Let me just go dig out my special Lunar detector and I'll get right on that." HAHAHA.Omg, Kai, you are so funny!
Page 246 : "You must promise to not come near this palace again so long as Queen Levana is here." Ahaha. Dr.Erland, do you expect her to obey that?I totally doubt that.
Page 301 : But if there was one thing she knew from years as a mechanic, it was that some stains never came out. Awww, That is just sad. Your beautiful ruined gloves ruined by your dang stepsister.Get revenge.
Page 368 : "She will be taken into custody," he said, with little strength behind his words. "She will be imprisoned until we can decide what to do with her. But if you kill her tonight, I swear I will never agree to any alliance with Luna." ...Repeat that Prince Kai? You're allowing her to go into custody? i don't understand the "he's buying cinder time" part...
Page 377 : Cinder Scoweled. "Gee, thanks, Doc. I'll check my calendar to see what I'll be available again." HAHAHA.Do check you calendar Cinder. Especially when you're being taken into custody.
Review :
Ok...fantasitcal book. I would like to say the ending is a bit of a cliffhanger.So,let's start at the beginning, shall we?We first find out that Peony has the plague and then dies..later on.Cinder is unable to save her,but is able to save Chang Sacha - a baker who has been infected and who caused Peony's infection.Well,actually it was Cinder, I'll just say it was him though.Then, she finds out she's lunar. WOAH.She's lunar?Right. That was my reaction. Then, we find out that she's immune to the plague,actually this was discovered at the beginning of the research,but whatever. Then, we find out she's Princess Selene. The princess everyone has been looking for. And that's when my reaction hits : BAM.WHAT THE HECK?! Very sarcastic and funny book. Fabulous read!
(No Spoiler)What I think about the characters :
- Cinder : The main character in this story. She's a funny girl with a good sense of humor. It was enjoyable to be looking at things from her point of view.
- Prince Kai : Adorable little boy. Actually, he's not little,but yea. It was also, very awesome to see the story from his POV too.
- Adri : Nope, not even worth mentioning. Totally more worse than Cinderella's Stepmother.
- Pearl : You know, she's just the stuck up stepsister for Cinder.
- Dr.Erland : Well,Nice doctor, it was annoying to read that Cinder was his new "guinea pig".
- Queen Levana : Hahaha. That's funny. She's even more worse than Adri...
Teasers :
Cinder pressed her lips. Numbered white doors slid past them. "What's in lab room 4D?"
"His Imperial Highness has requested a word with you."
