#27 Cinder by Marissa Meyer

When I first heard there was a SF retelling of Cinderella I was curious as how it was going to be pulled off. Once I got the book and read it I liked the worldbuilding  but would have liked a bit more info on how the Lunar people came into their powers. That the book is part of a trilogy is a bit of a downer since I wanted to see how it was all going to end to compare it to the fairy tale I guess that is a good thing. There are several departures from the original story but it works for this story and that is all good. 

#28 Broken Mirrors by T.A. Pratt

This story was serialized on the net at http://www.marlamason.net/mirrors/ I bought a finished copy in eformat only online so I wouldn't have to reload pages and read it when and where I wanted to. The downside to reading this on my phone was I didn't read the book all in one setting but in bits in pieces which turned out to be fine with the way it was written. The events in the book deal with the aftereffects of Spell Games. After the death of someone close to her she tries to bring this person back to her by going to a mirror universe. Of course doing this causes the Anti Marla to come to this world and Marla has to deal with the consequences of her actions and also does a bit of cleanup in the world that Anti Marla comes from. I really liked this and it really drove home the point that there are no easy shortcuts and everything  you do has actions that effect other people. The plus to looking up the series online I found out I missed a Kickstarter for the next book but it all ready available to be downloaded in most formats or read online. But kick some money to the writer as a tip please.
