An incredible start to an expansive science fiction series with immediately loveable characters, loveable settings, and loveable writing.  The book itself flows amazingly well, with a permanently addictive pace that makes the story fly past, especially as wider galactic tensions arise, plot twists grow in number, and stakes become rapid.  Recommend to anyone looking for a good science fiction, or badass sci-fi versions of your favourite fairytale princesses and stories.

I've read the Lunar Chronicles a few times now, and they're good books as the worldbuilding is interesting but easy to understand, and the characters are entertaining. Cinder isn't the best out of the four books as it only has Cinder's storyline and only a few main characters are introduced, but it's still a good setup for the rest of the series.
