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.

Even Better Second Time Around

It’s crazy that this book was originally published nearly a decade ago. Also crazy is the global pandemic in this story. When I read this the first time, I was like a global pandemic is so far-fetched and totally sci-fi lore. Heh.

Strangely awesome and original

Loved it. Despite being a "cinderella story", and holding true to much of the original fairy tale, it still managed to be original and unique. I enjoyed it immensely.

"I always recommend"

This book and the following are the best books I have ever had the pleasure of reading. Not only is there a lot of female empowerment elements, there are also a lot of different character facets. The stories are connected to, but not a blatant copy of, the fairy tales we all know and love. This series is one I always recommend. Rebecca Soler does a fantastic job in reading for Cinder. I am in love with the characters, the story and just the overall world! Highly recommend this series for anyone who loves a good princess story with some kick butt overtones!

most engaging book!

even though we all know the story of Cinderella there were so many twists and turns keeping me guessing. I absolutely loved the performance of the reader, she changed all the voices enough that you could tell they were different people. I highly recommend this book! my eleven year old daughter loved it as well!

Amazing

I loved reading this book. The ending leaves you wanting more and more, a better ending perhaps. The performance was beautiful and every word left you more engaged than you were before. The overall story was unbelievably good and lead me to reading and or listening for at least a six hour streak.
