Cinder is a Cinderella retelling of sorts. The twist Cinder
is a cyborg mechanic in a post world war 4 world. Cinder was injured at some point
in the past and the only way to save her was turning her into a cyborg, then
she was adopted, but her adoptive dad died. So now she lives with her
stepmother and two stepsisters. She
meets Prince Kai when he brings his android to be fixed, and they fall in love
for a happily ever after. The end. Just kidding but there is a little chemistry
happening. Before anything can happen between Cinder and Prince Kai the moon
people and the horrible disease Letumosis must be dealt with for the safety of
New Beijing.
I have looked at this book a million times but something always
kept me from reading it. I do not know what it was but I am glad I finally
ignored it because I love this book. This was my first book from Marissa Meyer,
and she is a wonderful writer. Cinder isn’t my usual type of book but Marissa’s
style and unusual story kept me entertained enough to enjoy the book.
Cinderella is my favorite fairy tale so I was a little
skeptical to see a cybog retelling but Cinder is really her own person. Marissa
Meyer put a lot of Cinderella into Cinder but still managed to give her her own
story. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book with it being
so far out of my normal comfort zone. Cinder lives up to the hype around her
and I cannot wait to see what happen with the rest of the books.
4/5
