Cinder

I’m late to this party. Like, really late. A lot of people have already read these books and fallen in love with them. I remember when Cinder first came out—and I don’t know why I didn’t jump all over it. It’s definitely the kind of book that I would be drawn to … but maybe it came out when I was in my phase of YA fiction apprehension? I think that’s it.

The Golden Braid

This book caught my eye because it was in the Christian Fiction section of Barnes & Noble. It’s beautiful cover was faced out and I was intrigued by the idea of a Christian version of Rapunzel. When I looked inside the dust jacket, the blurb at the top convinced me to buy it: “The one who needs rescuing isn’t always the one in the tower.” This made me curious about how Melanie Dickerson was going to turn the story upside down.
