I read this book after a friend read and reviewed it. It sounded interesting and I really wanted to check it out.  So I downloaded it to my eReader and went to work.The storyline of Ember was good, but it seemed like it really needed a little more. For my tastes, the story was too compacted and everything happened way, way too fast. The character didn't really seem to have enough depth to them and weren't well written. My husband read it after I did, and agreed with me completely.I do love the story though, and how Sharpe twisted the tale of Cinderella, and succeeded in weaving in other fairy tales such as Hansel and Gretel and Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs.All in all, it was decent for a quick "adult" read, but not one I would come back to. Had it been more descriptive and more thought out, I would definitely have enjoyed it more.
