Cinder by Marissa Meyer
5.0
Cinder, though a retelling of Cinderella, was somehow something new to me. It’s not like anything I’ve read before. Cyborgs, androids, people from the moon, how cool is that? AND don’t forget the fairytale-like romance.
Cinderella was my favorite fairytale ever, and from a Cinderella fan, may I say that I’m not disappointed on how it was tweaked to become an awesome new story.
CINDER’S WORLD
I like the world where Cinder live in. It seems like it provided me a glimpse of what our future world would be like, which I think is getting closer each passing day. Though I like her world, I don’t want to live in it, cause I’m a lazy person. Imagine a lazy person like me were to live in a place where androids do the work, I’ll be a couch potato. (On second thought, that wouldn’t be so bad. Hmmmm, I can even ask my android to do book reviews for me.)
CHARACTERS
Cinder, the way I see her, is beautiful without her even knowing it. Mainly because she’s very bothered about her cyborg parts. I like that she is not exactly like the Cinderella I’ve grown up to. She’s kind but not a damsel in distress. There’s nothing wrong if the character is a damsel in distress, I’m just not a fan of it. I like it when the female character is portrayed as a strong person who stands up for herself.
Prince Kai is my new love. I love how he talks and acts when Cinder is around. He’s a real charmer. Aside from that, it is amazing to see how much he loves his people, love it more than his self actually, which is a characteristic every leader should have.
Queen Levana, well, I can only describe her as an EVIL being. She’s the perfect “witch” for this story.
All in all, I love all the characters. Each and every one of them made this book amazing.
To be honest, after reading the 5th Wave, I’ve been looking for a book that will make me feel excited when reading it, and finally I found that buzz here. So I’m really really looking forward to reading the second book which is Scarlet.
