Glitches

I've been interested in The Lunar Chronicles series for quite a while, and intend it to be the series I read on Kindle shortly when I finish the rest of what I'm reading on Kindle shortly. Whilst on a for hour flight, I found myself unable to write up reviews in notes due to lack of storage and decided to read Glitches, and delete it from my phone. The first thing I noticed was that Meyer has an absolutely amazing talent for writing. I quickly read nine pages in just around 10 minutes, completely devouring the pages and finding myself in love with Cinder and her character. Meyer has a real talent for words that have left me speechless countless times over this short ebook, and with my mouth dropping open on the middle of a plane. Although Cinder seems quite unable to help herself at this point in time, I get the feeling that she's going to become a much stronger female character in the full series, and so I'm not too anxious or angry about that. I can understand an author wanting a weak character for a book or two so that they become stronger later on and show character growth. I was so angry when this finished! I wanted more of it and had to really stop myself diving in to read Cinder when I'm already reading so much. Cinder's feelings are really portrayed across in the writing so well that I almost teared up numerous times. I was totally taken aback, it was beautiful. I would gladly just read Glitches as it is numerous times, and probably will a few times over the remainder of the year. This is a beautiful, brand new take on Cinderella / Ashputtel that I am absolutely in love with; there need to be so many more like this and I cannot wait to be dragged into the The Lunar Chronicles black hole!
