A review by finallyfinnian
Cinder by Marissa Meyer

5.0

Absolutely fantastic - a compelling story about a teenage cyborg with a hard-knock life. Of course, there are some fawning over the prince parts that I skimmed in favor of the meatier action, but since this is a new take on the old Cinderella story, I wasn't too fussed about it. Overall, it held my interest and kept me reading. I was a little vexed at the end because I didn't realize it was a cliffhanger... but she made me order the second book with that ending, so I'd say the author did her job. Nicely written YA for all ages.
