Cinder (The Lunar Chronicles #1)
Humans and androids crowd the raucous streets of New Beijing. A deadly plague ravages the population. From space, a ruthless lunar people watch, waiting to make their move. No one knows that Earth's fate hinges on one girl. . . .
Cinder, a gifted mechanic, is a cyborg. She's a second-class citizen with a mysterious past, reviled by her stepmother and blamed for her stepsister's illness. But when her life becomes intertwined with the handsome Prince Kai's, she suddenly finds herself at the center of an intergalactic struggle, and a forbidden attraction. Caught between duty and freedom, loyalty and betrayal, she must uncover secrets about her past in order to protect her world's future.
With high-stakes action and a smart, resourceful heroine, Cinder is a Cinderella retelling that is at once classic and strikingly original.
*mild spoilers* Cyborgs!!!! *squeeaaaal*Androids!!!! *squeeaaaal*New Beijing!!!! *squeeaaaal*Cinderella!!!!! *squeuhm, Im more of a Beauty and the Beast girl. But not bad. Cinder was one helluva ride for me. Saying that it was a special one is an understatement. Why I call it special? Because of the ups and downs it had. If you read my Kindle notes for this review youd thing Im suffering of DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder). What do you think doctor House? Am I sick? Can it be
Something interesting is that this book is a sci-fi dystopian fairytale retelling imagining what the story of Cinderella would look like in a version of China hundreds of years in the future, with robots and cyborgs and moon people and hot princes and a sprinkle of magic, and yet it manages to be pretty boring.So one of the only interesting things about this book is how boring it manages to be, in spite of the odds.I want to shout out 2015 me for taking one for the team and reading this book,
Re-Read On Audio! I love the narrator =)I'm still loving Cinder, Iko and Prince Kai. I loved one of Cinder's sisters but the other one and her stepmom. Ugggg. Cinder being a cybor-mechanic is too cool! There is a deadly disease going around and it kills so many people. They are trying to find a cure by doing some evilness. Cinder gets to meet Prince Kai and sigh, I felt so happy for her. Then there is Queen Levana from Luna. Don't even want to talk about her evilness right now. And Cinder finds
3.5 starsA Cinderella story through and through...or is it? Even in the Future the Story Begins with Once Upon a Time. Everyone knows this story. At this point, I have read so many versions that I have a tough time going through yet another one. Yet, the further I read, the more I was delighted. This book was unexpectedly sweet, endearing and enjoyable.My younger sibling had this book on a shelf for the longest time and (finally) at the nudging of one of my friends, I picked it up. I'm glad
fairy tales were not something that i was told as a child. my only experience with them was through disney films, so retellings arent usually something i gravitate towards, but this series has been recommended to me so many times, i thought why not? and surprisingly, i wasnt disappointed.i liked how even though i knew the general story of cinderella, this book followed a plot line that felt new and exciting to me. i thought the sci-fi perspective was a great improvement. the writing was a little
Reviewed by: Rabid Reads4.5 starsLets talk about fairy tales.I was raised on them and I love them. My favorite collection was a hardback with Arthur Rackham illustrations . . . It was not-your-ordinary book of fairy tales. It had translations of the original German versions of the stories Id been listening to for years, but were so not the same. There were also new stories Id never heard before, like The Seven Ravens. I havent read it in years, but basically its about a girl whose evil

Even in the Future the Story Begins with Once Upon a Time. Once Upon a Time,there was an avid reader (let's call her K) who thought she was very clever but she couldn't be more wrong.You see,she'd heard about a futuristic version of Cinderella in which Cinder is a cyborg mechanic that everyone seemed to love but she refused to read it,because she was skeptical and a little prejudiced.One day she read the first page but when she came to the part where Cinder takes off her foot she said "Ok I*mild spoilers* Cyborgs!!!! *squeeaaaal*Androids!!!! *squeeaaaal*New Beijing!!!! *squeeaaaal*Cinderella!!!!! *squeuhm, Im more of a Beauty and the Beast girl.
