Cinder by Marissa Meyer

4.0

This was a really cool twist on the Cinderella story! The plot was really predictable and I figured out the big secret plot twist pretty much right away but the story & characters were engaging which made me want to keep reading to see how they ended up figuring it out. I really liked Cinder & Kai's characters and I thought the plaque storyline & Cinder's origins were a unique twist. The world building for the Earthen society was really well done but some of the Lunar world-building felt a little clunky at times. Overall, an entertaining fairy tale retelling with a unique sci-fi/dystopian twist. I'll certainly be checking out the rest of the series.
