Reading more things!

Now that I've read Cress and been rewarded with the news that it is, in fact, a Rapunzel retelling, I find myself wondering why I didn't pick up on the more obvious signs from Cinder and Scarlet. Like Captain Thorne. And his ship, a Rampion. WHY DID I NOT CONNECT THOSE DOTS SOONER. I SHOULD BE BETTER AT FAIRY TALES THAN THIS.

I quite enjoyed Epic

Bwahaha. I remember finally picking up that Ella Enchanted was a Cinerella retelling about 3/4 of the way through.

How is the series? Any good?

Cinder/Scarlet/Cress? I am finding them to be SO GOOD that they make me flail, but I don't know if that's, y'know, the best indicator of actual quality. I think the stories are generally pretty good, as adaptations of fairy tales, and I am finding the world she's building fairly interesting, and I am flailing while waiting for Winter because it is going to be Snow White and she showed up at the end of Cress and oh hey it looks like she's completely and utterly insane, no, like really out of her skull crazy and it is going to be AWESOME.

Or something.

*FLAIL*

Uh... I recommend them. I figure if you read Cinder and don't like it, it's probably not worth reading the rest, because the books that follow are more of the same, more or less.

Cool! I'll start with Cinder, then, and take it from there.
