Cinders [Completed]

Author's Note

Hey cowboys

So when I finished Atypical, I realized how dang long it was and how HARD it was to get through like. WoW. So I told myself that I was going to make Cinder shorter but ahdbndnrkakakKMKnndkml and so -

~132,509 words.

Which is about 3 full novels. Congratulations on getting through the slowest and longest book on the internet.

First, thank you to all of my readers. You guys are seriously the best. Your comments, likes, and reads make my day and I am so happy that so many of you found something important in Lee's journey and followed along. You have very deeply encouraged a very tired author 😭

I wanted to address a few other things. 1. I knew that "why are you running" thing would IMMEDIATELY be linked to the vine but I was so hopeful that the vine was dead enough that it wouldn't happen.... I prayed.... I was wrong. Like??? I could have said "Why are you leaving me"???? So hecking many options and yet

2. Lee's journey means a lot to me, and I hope to a lot of you. I wanted to recognize the strength that it takes to not only come from a horrible past, but to live in a world that hates you for it. That's a big part of the reason she was never "healed" of her stuntedness. There are things you can never get back; but missing these things does not make you less of a heroine.

Lastly, I have other stories! I'm in the middle of publishing Roots (another one that's very important to me - a twist on childhood love) and I also have my "extras" which is basically just fanfiction of my stories lol. I have some stuff for Atypical and Cinders in there now (just posted one for Lucy!). I hope you check em out.

Also, if you have any additional questions for me, please ask a away! I'm happy to do a Q&A thing in extras if there's interest.

Thanks to all of you; and goodbye to Elia, Jonah, Lucy, Orion, and Lee. It has been an honor penning for you.

Catch you later, kiddos ✌️
