My Thoughts:
I heard some really great things about this book that I knew when it came out I had to get my hands on it. When I was at NCTE I was excited that they had it there!!! I had to read it, and I am glad that I did. You meet Cinder and she is a mechanic in New Beijing. She is the best mechanic for miles, and everyone knows it. But see Cinder is in a high demand because she lives in a time where there are humans, cyborgs, and androids. One day the Prince comes to her with his assistant, who is an android, who needs to be fixed. This is where it all begins! During the whole story you know that something is up between them two, but you just do not know what. And the end....I did not see that end coming. Maybe I was just not watching out for it, but I was such a surprise.
Cinder is a retelling of Cinderella. Cinder has a stepmother that hates her, stepsisters that just want to make their mother happy, and a Prince that wants her and she doesn't know why. I mean he is the Prince! He could have anyone, but her wants her. The main thing that is holding her back is that she is not human....and the Prince is. That could be hard for anyone. Even in this day and age it is hard to accept change. This is change in their world.
My favorite part of the book is when Cinder goes to the party. The writing in this scene was amazing. Marissa Meyer did a great job describing what was going on. Marissa Meyer is brilliant! She did such an amazing job. This book was one of the best books that I have read this year!
My Rating:
I am giving this book 4 out 5 stars!
