Wow! I admit, maybe it was the hype about the book that I didn’t quite make it to the five-star rating that a lot of people have given it, but CINDER truly stands on its own as far as retellings go. Now let’s talk about how I felt about it. But call me Cinder – I’ll comm you, maybe

Cyborgs are treated as less than human, so not only does Cinder have to deal with her wicked step-mother, but everyone else treats her like dirt too. Now you’d think everyone would be like “Hey, cool, you’ve got these awesome abilities!” but not in New Beijing. I guess I also wasn’t really clear on what a cyborg actually was because it’s not like Cinder is a robot (which is kind of how I was picturing it) – No, she was once a fully living and breathing person, all whole and intact until after a tragic accident (which she can’t remember), a scientist put Humpty Dumpty back together again (oops, wrong fairy tale) with robotic parts, from limbs to internal wiring. I’m not a big fan of sci-fi as far as robots and the like go so I wasn’t really sure how this would come off, but really it seemed quite natural in the story. But thanks to all of the encouragements and gentle aggressive prods from my fellow bloggers, I knew this was one that I really had to try before judging so quickly! Cyborg Cinderella? Moon people? No way was I going to like that story. I had put it off so long because come on. Yes, I FINALLY read CINDER, you guys!!! It’s about time, I know. Caught between duty and freedom, loyalty and betrayal, she must uncover secrets about her past in order to protect her world’s future. 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. She’s a second-class citizen with a mysterious past, reviled by her stepmother and blamed for her stepsister’s illness. No one knows that Earth’s fate hinges on one girl.Ĭinder, a gifted mechanic, is a cyborg.

From space, a ruthless lunar people watch, waiting to make their move. Humans and androids crowd the raucous streets of New Beijing.
