This is dark and exciting from the beginning. The main character is a villain and quite ruthless. Take controls of you love one's power and destroy your enemy is cruel but how the story grows is just beyond what I predict. I thought she'll be good eventually but she's so not. Her way of vengeance is amazingly satisfying.

Adelina met a new love interest that I thought will be good for her, but well, true villain never care about love doesn't it? I was kinda hoping that she'd kill Raffaele because, as sweet as he is, he's still evilish. And Enzo, I need more story of how he'd be doing after. The plot twist here is insanely good. Some question I had from the first book got answered here and I wouldn't guess it this way, which makes the story so good because it's unpredictable. 

Ugh I hate when a good book is over. Next book please come soon. Because I'm dying to know how they'll be with Adelina as queen and the Daggers on the run. Pleeeaaassseeeeee Marie Lu........

Review

Such a great start for a famous fairytale retelling. I was thinking to find the same old main story in it, like how the step mother and her step sisters are all treating her badly, how her beloved father died and leave her. Little twist in the story change everything, in a good way of course. 

Cinder is not the typical helpless cinderella that we knew, who needs fairy godmother to meet her handsome prince. Prince charming alone isn't enough to make her attend the ball. She got her own priority which makes her a strong character. The romance is still there, but it's not the main focus. 

The story flew really well, it's engaging and fun and I can't put the book down. I love strong heroine, Cinder is independent and relatable. You got the cinderella vibe with a different taste which is awesome. Look's promising for the series.

Review

At first, the story doesn't really excite me. It's boring life story of a troubled teen who cope with being nonmagical person in a magical family. It's weird feeling reading it. But half way through the book the story gets interesting. The plot twist successfully entertain me. I never would've guessed that his brothers are bad guys.

I found a few thing bothering me though. I can't understand why his brother could be so evil to him. I thought family means everything to them, but it's not. Turning your little brother to be a killing machines without hin even knowing is really bad. And all that for money? I also would want to know more about Maura and the song she heard, what's that all about? Why is she leaving Philip? And Baron, he was supposed to be the good brother but he's even more heartless. 

Other that that I really enjoy this book. The mystery keep me guessing through the pages and I really didn't see that coming by the end. It's really exciting.
