I agree with you that there was a lot of foreshadowing and you can guess what would most likely happen in the end.

I just thought it killed the tension a little because it took such a long time to reveal information that I already knew.

I don't think were were supposed to not figure it (and other things) out. (Like Erin said in the previous comment.) I very much enjoyed the ride, and would recommend you give at least one more book a try. They are each their own story, with overlapping characters and world building.

Now I'm a full-fledged Lunartic! <br /><br />I know what you mean about knowing exactly what's going on. Meyer uses a lot of foreshadowing, but I think she does it for the dramatic irony effect. It's cool to know what's going on, but it's even more fun to see how the characters react to something that you already knew.<br /><br />Great review!<br /><a href="http://www.thehardcoverlover.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Erin @ The Hardcover Lover</a>Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08131832400840619615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-10383412228650880652015-03-18T11:02:06.571-06:002015-03-18T11:02:06.571-06:00I recently read this book and loved it!

I didn't notice that there were so many missed opportunities in here - I was too caught up in the plot which was predictable in a sense and then in another not, and also in the characters. But yes, it would've been nice to have more world building. Otherwise, I found it to be fantastic!<br /><br />Check out my review and giveaway: http://olivia-savannah.blogspot.nl/2015/03/the-boston-girl-review-giveaway.htmlOlivia's Catastrophehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706765857201768908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-32855584371351134912015-03-18T10:28:50.567-06:002015-03-18T10:28:50.567-06:00Great review!

I understand some authors want to leave details to the readers' imagination, but it doesn't excuse them for their lack of world-building.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01211825318818585415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-57465126600660369802015-03-18T08:16:59.034-06:002015-03-18T08:16:59.034-06:00Now that you mention it, Cinder does indeed have a...Now that you mention it, Cinder does indeed have a lot of unfinished business. I couldn't notice it when I read it myself, I guess, because I was wearing my heart-shaped goggles. Haha. I have heard that it only gets better though, so I am positive that a lot more will be explained in the next books :) <br /><br /><a href="http://cucie-reads.blogspot.no/" rel="nofollow">Cucie @ Cucie reads</a>Cecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10905612657606691238noreply@blogger.com
