Publisher's summary

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.

SPOILERS!

I absolutely loved the new take on the classic story Cinderella. The new details about the story refreshing. But when it came to the plot, I knew that the missing princess was the lead character.

Amazing

I've read this series multiple times. And I will admit, I'm pretty sure I cry as soon as the series is at an end. I read Cinder in a few hours and then basically demanded the whole series. Some part are predictable, but as a whole it is in my top two favorite series. The way Marissa Meyer writes makes it hard for me to choose a favorite book or character. 😊

Turned out to be excellent.

Any additional comments?

I was skeptical of this book at first, but it was an enjoyable listen/read, and I've enjoyed the whole series so far.
