I have read this futuristic take on the Cinderella story probably 10 times and will not stop reading it. Every time I pick it back up, I discover more moments that I missed, hinting toward the rest of the series.

Ok. Ok. Ok. We can be calm, we can be-
NOPE. THAT. WAS. AMAZING! LIKE AWSOME! LIKE WHAT?!? HOW? THAT WAS SO GOOD!! What happens to Cinder???

I copied the last thing from the book because just wow
“Soon, the whole world would be searching for her—Linh Cinder.
A deformed cyborg with a missing foot.
A Lunar with a stolen identity.
A mechanic with no one to run to, nowhere to go.
But they would be looking for a ghost.”

WOAH. THIS WAS SO GOOD. I LOVED IT!! Can’t wait to see what roller coaster I go on with book 2!

Fun retelling of Cinderella. Cinderella is a cyborg and a top-notch mechanic living in New Beijing in a dystopian future. It’s a little over-the-top, but it’s still an entertaining, if predictable, read.

c'était trop cool (bon j'avoue j'ai deviné exactement ce qui allait se passer mais on s'en fout), trop hâte de lire la suite de la saga punaise

I had zero interest in this book. Then I took a closer look at the cover, read the back, and realized that Cinder is a cyborg. I was in. And the story did not disappoint. Cinder is a take-charge mechanic instead of your typical passive fairy-tale female, plus she's funny. There's a plague going around and people with special powers live on the moon. Basically, you won't like this book if you can't handle quite a bit of weirdness. But if you enjoy wacky scifi with a bit of heart, this is a winner.
