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.

Well read and well written

The reader's accents are very great and not distracting from the story, I love it when the doctor speaks :)

loved

I adore this story line and LOVE the Author.... I would most definitely recommend this series to anyone who likes gritty magical characters that are seeded in dystopian societies. . not the fluffy sparkle fairytale or boring run of the mill story of future societies.... it's different not just another way to tell the story of hunger games

Twist on a classic

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. Although I don't normally go for "young adult" books, this one was above average and a lot of fun. It was easy to listen to, slightly predictable, but overall interesting.

What did you like best about this story?

How the author took a classic and fitted the tale into an alternate reality/futuristic setting, created a mystery, and kept the book moving along without too much self introspection by the main character.

Have you listened to any of Rebecca Soler’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, I haven't, but I liked the performance overall.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I never listen to a book all in one setting, but it did keep me wanting to come back and find out what happened next.

it was surprisingly good.

young adult novels have a tendency to whine a lot or be all about boys. this one had a good plot and a perky girl with moxy

glad I finally picked this up properly

I actually listened to lavanna story back when it first released. Since I got this Cinder on sale I decided to give it a go and see if I would enjoy the rest of the series.
