Raised by Wolves was a lot better than what I was expecting. Yea sure I had some small issues with it but the good far outweighed the bad.
And I can't recall the last time I laughed so much while reading. The humour in this book + Bryn's personality was great.
Looking forward to reading the next one.
4 stars.
Listening to this as an audiobook/MP3 CD was the only way I was going to read this. It's not my usual read at all. I like my vampire stories but I love them to have romance in them, this was very low on that--at least in the respect I mean. There's lot of mentions of love and passion but I think they meant it in the sire/fledgling way--I think anyway.
I haven't seen the film and I'm not thinking of watching it anytime soon, though it may be something I enjoy more that way than by reading/listening to it.
Not my kind of book but at least I've read/listened to it.
This was just Fun!!
Cinderella would be proud!!
Inventive and Invigorating. Surprisingly original and refreshing for a fairy tale retelling!
I really did love this story. Even if the world building fell short, just a tiny bit, it certainly didn't take any thing away from the awesomeness of the story :) I loved all the characters, the bad ones, the sick ones, the androids and even the stepsisters.
I especially loved Cinder's character. Even with grease stained clothes and cyborg parts. She is just a teenage girl, who's witty and smart, and a highly skillful mechanic. She faces strenuous obstacles like a fatal plague, a persistent Prince and an unpleasant Stepmother. All she wants to do is run away from it all but she can't.....
Not after what she has just found out!
Her world is on the brink of an Intergalactic war with the Lunars. Cinder is caught in the middle of it all and we won't know what will happen because of the bloody cliffhanger!
That's okay! hahaha I have the next book, which I've already started reading (and love so far)
That's one good reason why I'm glad it took me so long to read this series. Now I don't have to wait for the next... OH WAIT!!!!!
There's one more book. "Winter" and it doesn't come out til next year.
I guess I'll just try and read the rest of Scarlet and Cress really
Reeeaaalllyyy sllloooowwwwwwlllyyy....
But seriously, If you haven't read this book yet, I highly recommend that you do! A simply spectacular story!! And if you get the chance, listen to it on audio. I listened to it while driving in my car. Half the time I found myself parked in my driveway after running errands just listening away. It's extremely entertaining!!!

An excellent introduction into Greek language for beginners. It is perfect for acquiring basic reading skills. The font is relatively big, there are lots of fun exercises to practice basic reading. The book comes with CD. I used it as an addition to Michel Thomas Greek course by the same author (Hara Garoufalia-Middle) - it was very helpful in learning to read.
