AMAMZING BOOK

I just finished the seris! SOOOO Good!

This book is incredible. Marissa Meyer puts her own spin on the classic tale of Cinderella with Cinder. It is a futuristic and (slightly) dystopian fiction novel. The story follows Cinder, a looked down upon, abused, and bullied cyborg. When the prince meets her and develops a crush for her, her life is turned upside down. The death of her only human friend and step-sister steels her resolve to escape. To find somewhere to live happily. Her jealous, angry, and heart broken step-mother volunteers her to be tested for a deadly disease, which only the Lunar people of Luna holds the cure. Lunars are humanoid looking creatures who can control people and change their appearance at will. Upon learning she is immune, and that there is a plot to kill the prince after his decision to enter into a doomed one-sided marriage alliance with the ruthless queen of Luna, Levana, she sacrifices her safety to save him. Her only companion is a lovable, loyal, prince smitten android named Iko desperate to be human. Her only weapons are her brain, metal fist, and sharp tongue. Cider succeeds in slowing the announcement of the engagement, but learns a shocking secret. A DNA test reveals that she isn't human. She is a Lunar who's gift had been suppressed. Gaining access to her powers comes at a cost. She is the missing princess and the rightful heir to the Lunar throne!! Marissa Meyer is a wonderful author, who will leave you reading all 4 books in the Lunar Chronicles time and time again.

I mean, wow! Marissa Meyer just transformed the classic, childish Cinderella tale into an amazing novel that seems like a mixture of action, fantasy, sci-fi, and romance all-in-one! Based in the future after WWIIII in New Beijing, 16-year-old Cinder, her cruel stepmother Adri, her stepsisters Pearl and Peony (who is the only one that is remotely nice to Cinder), and a spunky android named Iko struggle to survive under overcrowded conditions while a deadly plague ravages the city: leutemosis. However, there is one more twist you need to know--Cinder is a cyborg due to a car crash that killed her parents, but that she also remembers nothing about. Although she is shamed for her metal hand and leg, the cybornetics in her brain have made Cinder the best mechanic in all of New Beijing, and it is in her mechanic booth that she attracts the attention of a certain (very handsome) Prince and soon-to-be-Emperor, Kaito (Kai). And since this IS still a Cinderella story, of course Adri had to go and do something as horrible as send Cinder off to a facility that test leutemosis cures, none of which have been successful i might add, on cyborgs. But then, why doesn't she get sick after the leutemosis is injected into her? Read the book yourself to find out more about the mysterious Dr. Erland, another whole race of mind-controlling people who live on the moon--Lunars--and their tyrannic queen, why Cinder is immune to leutemosis, and a death that will send you reeling. Trust me, you will be begging for the next book in the series as soon as you finish this one!

Oh my!! How could they??? That is awful!!
