Review: "Cinder" by Marissa Meyer

Cinder is a retelling of the classic story of Cinderella. But this time, Cinderella is a cyborg. How can you resist wanting to read a story about a cyborg Cinderella? You can’t, you just… can’t.  So, I succumbed to this wild temptation and am so thrilled that I did! Cinder is a fantastic read full of surprises. It follows the story of Cinder, one of the most composed characters of the age of 16 that I have ever read. I could not put this book down because I was so enthralled with the wonderful characters: Prince Kai, Peony and even Adri, the old hag. The story telling of Meyer was refreshing and didn’t feel recycled to me. I will definitely be finishing this series.

5 Stars to a Cinderella story that surprised me.

  2. I had been wanting to read this but, when I found out she was a cyborg I got a little turned off, but I still added it to my TBR list, glad to know that you liked it. Now maybe I will check it out

  3. I just started reading this and so far I think it's pretty awesome. I was intrigued by the fact that she is a cyborg and what twist that would add to the story.
