A good saga begins

1. Cinder (Paperback)

Customer Review

It is initially intrigued by the cover that I inquired with the back cover. Cinderella SF sauce? That's what intrigued me even though I do not know if I should take the Star Wars reference on favorably. What prompted me to buy in the end, it's probably at first glance, everything seems to indicated a single volume. I suppose not be the only one to see current series of dozens who would, from time to time, enter into these series or at least started me on a volume knowing I would not have to monitor the schedule for more ... Big mistake on my part, because as you can imagine, this is indeed a saga that will have at least 4 volumes and if the allusion to the Red Riding Hood in Volume 2 can leave hope each tales is rather autonomous, it is absolutely nothing. You agree that this little aside is no judge of the quality of the work in itself and as the "evil" is already done, so get started.

We are faced with a story in the third person but, as so often with Young Adult, limited to a relatively small number of views. This time, I come a little regrettable that Marissa Meyer did not choose the first person because the heroine of half-machine side adds a little originality with this particular interface that reminds her every time Cinder is under stress or others. An endearing heroine whose side his mid-machine (36.28% machine to be precise) and especially to accentuate the outcast heroine side and rejected by this futuristic society while delivering to the style of the day (if we may say so) the symbol of the glass slipper. Also for movie lovers, this Cinder is much closer to the Drew Barrymore film A forever as the Disney version with a more assertive character.
I also like the treatment of romance with Cinder deplorable that a vision of itself and continues to reject any condition of Prince pure spite her feelings for him. Pity that the author never think to describe the feelings of Kai prince to her when it comes to his views to him. It would feel good to know I think the vision it to Cinder. In damaging points, I would add also the ball scene is very nearly as magical it should have been in the eyes of the protagonists and readership. And finally at the disappointments, the book ends very little satisfactorily and that requires us to have the following on hand or to monitor the editorial schedule.

Cinder is none the less a pleasant book to read, well written without taking heads. The author else rather well structured his story and gives meaning to harmless elements towards the end. I just wonder if she really believed that the identity of a mystery really Cinder secret so it appears evident (amnesiac heroine ...). An addictive story that will join the list of my many playing saga until Volume 2, which, in addition to Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood will appear (and I always look for the reference to Star Wars!)
