“Even in the Future the Story Begins with Once Upon a Time.”

This.Was.Awesome.

This book was great! I was completely addicted while reading this, I finished it in less than two days. It was serioulsy good.

This book is a dystopian retelling of the fairytale Cinderella, but in this case, our Cinder is a cyborg. A freaking cyborg. Talk about new and exciting.

I was so in the mood for a book like this and I ended it up reading it really fast non-stop throughout the weekend. It is such a fast paced book ...more

I was skeptical when opening this book. I saw the cover and read the synopsis and was slightly interested but couldn't get past the Cinderella element and the hightech world that they lived in. 100 pages in I was really regretting putting off this book for so long. It was fantastic. The writing is descriptive and easily understandable. The beginning was a little slow to me and it took me a while to get into the book. I love the main character Cinder. She endures so much, doesn't ask for anything ...more

I finally read this BOOK! After it being in my bookshelf for like, a month... I finally read it! Why the delay do you ask? Cyborgs? Aliens? Space? Not things that I look in books. Nonetheless, I'm happy I picked it up! It was really GOOD! (surprisingly). Cinder is basically the super, time machined, advanced version of Cinderella. The main character's name is Cinder and she is a cyborg (half human, half robot). She was in car accident where she lost her parents and only surv ...more

I liked this book way more than I thought I would! There's action, political drama, magic, cyborgs, romance, pretty much everything you want out of a good story. I really liked the retelling of Cinderella, though I wouldn't really call it a "retelling". It was more like a whole new story with bits and pieces of Cinderella thrown in. I'd recommend this book to anyone who loved YA fantasy stories. AMAZING! ...more

Okay... So when I first heard about Cinder I was like what? Cinderella as a cyborg? Excuse me, can you repeat that?

I'll be truthful... I was very hesitant before reading this book, so many times I picked the book off my shelf and then put it back. I do love a book that has a fairy tale twist but surely a robot Cinderella was a bit much? But no! I didn't think so.

Obviously everyone knows the story of the poor Cinderella bulli ...more
