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.

Oh my stars! ✨

I am blown away! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like this sort of retelling of one of my favorite fairy tales. However, when I started listening I couldn't stop! Can't wait to see what the rest of the lunar world has in store! 😄

Dune Meets Fairytails

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

Yes, I love political science fiction. There was hardly any violence and lovely imagination the whole way through. Sometimes the "romance" was annoying, but I would totally read it again.

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

Yes!

captivating

Although it took me a minute to get into the story, I couldn't stop listening very shortly into it. I can't wait to listen to the next one!

Fabulous Futuristic Fairy Tale

I absolutely loved this story, which is a futuristic retelling of Cinderella. The narrator was wonderful, making each character distinct. I have already bought the next audio book in the series and am looking forward to listening to it.

Great series! Great narrator!

I love this series. It is a very unique storyline and I like how the author has been able to borrow a bit from fairy tales to form some main characters. The narrator does an awesome job of keeping you engaged and using different voice inflections for the different characters. I am bummed though, I thought the series was complete... But I have to wait till November!!!

Creative twist / reinvention of a classic

I love the twists to this reinvented inspiration on this classic romantic adventure. It was so much more than I expected. It's captivating and the way the series progresses is just draws you in so much more then you can imagine. The unexpected comedy helps ease some the tragedies and atrocities. But as with all entailed and alluring storylines the complexities and range of emotions that will consume you should be expected and appreciated. So be prepared to go on a wonderful journey in this amazing series.

Quite fun

What did you love best about Cinder?

The book is a quirky concept.

What did you like best about this story?

The story was unique, and I liked the blending of old school fairy tale and sci fi.

What about Rebecca Soler’s performance did you like?

It was a good performance, though I didn't understand why some characters received heavier Chinese accents than others even though they all lived in the same country. . .

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

Yep!

Any additional comments?

I take it Cinder was White given her origins. Did she have to be White? It was so nice to have a bit of racial diversity to the story outside of that. . .

So enjoyable!!

This is the first audio book I have heard as I have always been apprehensive about listening to a fun fantasy novel being narrated by a monotonous, expressionless voice. I am so glad I gave it a chance!! Rebecca Soler has a very unique voice and made each character stand out. The story by Marrissa Meyer was fantastic and I look forward to listening to more audiobooks from this duo!
