"Cinder sought to be strong, powerful and feared, even after achieving her goals of obtaining the maiden's power she has been robbed of all three; crippled, helpless and without the respect of her peers". I could not have said that better. That is precisely what it is, and I applaud Kerry and Miles for conveying that without telling us.

As for Em and Merc being out of their league,--oh yes. The development in this volume on both sides is looking to be quite interesting. I sense either a sacrifice, or a betrayel from Em and Mercs's end. Perhaps both. I wonder if Cinder will grow to appreciate Emerald and Mercury, or resent them for being her crutches. That would very interesting. GAAAAH I'M SO EXCITED FOR THE DIRECTION OF THIS BALL. I just pray that it isn't dropped.

I did find it strang that Em and Merc did not recieve updated clothes. Eh, I adore Emerald's outfift anyway.
