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.
I did it, I gave in to the hype that is Cinder and you know what? It was all it was cracked up to be!! It was a wonderful rendition of cyborg-Cinderella! Say what now? You heard me, our "Cinderella" is a cyborg...in a dystpoian era...how cool is that?
I've gotta give Marissa Meyer credit for creating such a unique character in Cinder. I absolutely loved Cinder. Cinder is not all human, she's a cyborg because of her metal leg and hand. But that's not all, she also has no tear ducts and she can't blush. I'm not sure if that's a bad thing, not being able to blush, I mean you wouldn't have to look like a tomato whenever you're swooning for a boy, right?!
I loved that Cinder's personality was a mix of sarcasm and heroism. She truly has a warriors heart.
Prince Kai was just like any other male character but he was also different. The way he acted, sometimes unsure and shy about himself, mad him so much more swoon worthy! Oh Kai <3
Even the side characters were great. They provided a good balance to the hecticness that was going on in Cinder's life and brought laughter and tears to my eyes.
The story had an easy flow to it and even though some parts were predictable, I hardly paid attention to that because I was too busy laughing and enjoying myself with Cinder's sarcastic comments!!
This book is a great read and everyone should pick up a copy, I promise it won't disappoint!!
