Cat Carstairs | 516 comments GAH! This is one of my favorite books! I can't wait to hear everyone's thoughts :D


Angieleigh I can't wait to read this again! I absolutely LOVE this series! In fact, Cinder is the first audiobook that I listened to and absolutely love the narrator. She's why I still listen to audiobooks to this day!

Wow, that is very impressive! I'll make sure to check her out. I know my sister listened to Cinder's audiobook, so I was wondering if it was the same as the one you listened to. :)

Mary Emma Sivils | 657 comments I don't think I'll be joining in this month. I have a couple other books I want to read, and life is pretty busy at the moment!
I should probably put Cinder on my TBR, though, just because so many people seem to love it. XD

It might be a spoiler, but what is the "forbidden attraction" in the book? And, is it presented in a positive, neutral, or negative manner?
As one of my English professors pointed out, there's often a political undercurrent in science fiction stories; they tend to bring up/discuss particular, and often controversial, facets of society.


Kacie | 563 comments just DM'd you!

I would generally agree with this! I would even say, at least in part, that it's the role of science fiction to present itself as a societal, technological, and political warning.

I don't really have an opinion. I'm not the swooning type, but I think he's nice, so far.

41% in.


Elizabeth Faustina (ourladysthimble) | 347 comments It's pretty predictable, and I'm going forth from disliking and liking it.

I wonder if Iko is supposed to be an equivalent to the mice? XD

50% in.
