In “Glitches,” a short prequel story to Cinder, we see the results of that illness play out, and the emotional toll that takes on Cinder. Something that may, or may not, be a glitch...

Rating: 5/5 Stars

Review: I came across this short prequel by accident and I'm glad I did. The one thing that bugs me about books is when you don't get any background information. Insert Glitches, it's perfect because it gives you the background you crave from Cinder. Also you get to witness a heated debate between Cinder's step- parents giving you their opinions on the adoption. Also included is how Cinder's biological parents died. Even though this novella was short you learn a lot about the characters and it shows emotion. This is where it all began, so everyone how loved Cinder needs to read this novella to get the full story.
