Yeah I know, pretty corny. However I do not know how to put in an actual gif. I had one ready and everything. You can think of a gif though...

Really enjoyed this book!! It was a very enjoyable read and really was not what I expected! Can't wait for the rest of the series to come out! I loved Cinder and the Prince, I didn't expect the twist at the end, it was fabulous, anxiously awaiting the next in the series!!!!
