Dont you just hate the haters. I am not trying to be a hater, but I do want to pass on my experience. While I was reading this, I felt like I was reading a kids book. Wait, I knew this was a young adult book. Something just seemed very off and very simplistic about it. After some google searching, I found this book is deemed a 5 th grade reading level. I do really enjoy some of the other authors who do fairy tale retellings. Those are listed as a higher reading level about a 7th grade level. I could tell the difference.

I decided to enjoy this book for what it is. A fun retelling of the Cinderella story. Cinder. And there are many more books in the series, Scarlett will be little red riding hood, with a wolf. The next book is also a 5th grade reading level. I dont think overall that you are wasting your time, I think the series only gets better as we meet more characters.
