Yes, I am super fangirling and not ashamed one bit! So I think it goes without saying that the reasons for me loving Cinder so much, aside from being blasted by a rainbow of awesome with its creative premise, is that it has a lot to do with sentimental memories. And for those that watch subtitled Japanese shows, you know that there comes a time in your marathon watching where you stop reading the subtitles and start thinking Japanese in your sleep. I've even seen the live action series in all Japanese. If I were to miss one episode, I would cry my little eyes out because I just had to know what happened next to Serena! I have seen every episode including the fifth season that didn't air in America. Reading Cinder reminded me of a simpler time before responsibilities, when the biggest thing I had to worry about was setting up the VCR (yes, a throwback!) every day because at 4pm, right before Dragon Ball Z, Sailor Moon would come on. ![]() Sailor Moon was my all-time favorite TV show and manga as a child. someone had answered my prayers! I don't think you can understand my excitement for that. ![]() But then shortly before I read it, another blogger informed me that not only is it a Cinderella retelling, but also had Sailor Moon elements. Marissa Meyer, my hat's off to you because a cyborg Cinderella in New Beijing, China? Badass. When I first heard of Cinder before it's release, it was gaining quite a bit of buzz known for the retelling of Cinderella. But all that doesn't really matter now because I've remedied the problem and absolutely fallen in love with this wonderful story. ![]() What a HUGE mistake! I even had the nerve to go into my local bookstore twice, pick Cinder up, and put it right back down. Why in the world did I procrastinate with reading it? I've had Cinder sitting on my Kindle for a few months now and I continued to put it off over and over again. Let me go ahead and get this out of the way.
