I'm glad you found yourself among those people and that even though it wasn't a true fairy tale retelling that it worked out in the end. I think it sounds great that sci-fi worked in this one without being too much. I really enjoy lite sci-fi elements in books so this will probably work for me. <br /><br />Thanks for the great review.Alexahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02504096607685421368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537602474198205550.post-70823876883074941962012-02-25T07:24:16.758-07:002012-02-25T07:24:16.758-07:00I too loved Cinder, despite figuring out the twist...I too loved Cinder, despite figuring out the twist early on.

Not that I didn't like it -- I just didn't love it like I hoped to. I didn't like figuring out the twist so early on in the story and the setting just didn't feel like New Beijing to me. But I am still planning to read the rest of the series!Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02266693294304210442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537602474198205550.post-25037467616310698742012-02-24T15:05:00.752-07:002012-02-24T15:05:00.752-07:00I loved Cinder and I'm so glad that Marissa is...I loved Cinder and I'm so glad that Marissa is going to have each book in the series be a different fairy tale!

I think Sleeping Beauty has sci-fi potential. She sleeps forever, wakes up in some future society... maybe on a spaceship... Wait. That sounds like Across the Universe. :DEmilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11199624998247618525noreply@blogger.com
