Cinder by Marissa Meyer

5.0

Wow! This is a Cinderella retelling like no other. It has most of the elements of the classic story, but Cinder is a cyborg -- a real girl with robot parts and wiring fused in. She meets the prince when he comes to her mechanic shop with an android that's malfunctioning. The android has state secrets on it regarding conflict with people who colonized the moon hundreds of years ago, called Lunars. War with the Lunars may be imminent if a peace agreement can't be worked out and the android knows something but she's broken... Also there's an incurable plague ravaging Earth that seems to have its origins from the Lunars. Cinderella with a serious sci-fi kick -- I couldn't put it down!
