Not very heavy, and it was silly the way that all the characters got neatly paired off within a book of their introduction, but it was enjoyable fiction. All of the plot twists were extremely obvious. I say this as somebody who never catches the plot twist. You could give me an episode of Scooby-Doo and I'll end up going "The hell? It was the grizzled old caretaker and not a ghost? He was trying to protect a fortune by scaring people away using a projector and a sheet? I'll be damned. Never saw that coming!" But I saw all the plot twists in the Cinder series a mile away, and was rightly amused by the way the author kept patiently dropping those little breadcrumbs for everybody slower than me.
Still, I enjoyed the books well enough to order Renegades when it came out. ( No spoilers )
