Re read August 2016
I’m so glad I decided to re-read the series before reading Winter and Stars Above. Cinder has been as enjoyable and exciting as the first time I read it in 2012 and I can’t wait to continue with Scarlet and Cress. The Lunar Chronicles is an epic space adventure that nobody should miss and I couldn’t be happier to be reunited with these characters.

Wow. Just wow. I am very, very late to the Lunar Chronicles fandom train, but better late then never I guess!
I am so surprised with how much I adored this book that is so out of my normal reading realm. Sci-fi, high fantasy, future is not my thing, but Cinder hooked me anyway. I absolutely adored her wit. All of the supporting characters fit do well, even the ones I don't like! I am now chomping at the bit to get my hands on the rest of the series! ...more

Love this series so much, have bought my own copy
Voy a dejarlo entre 4 y 4.5 simplemente por una cosa:desde prácticamente el principio ya se sabe lo que va a pasar, o al menos el giro que al final dará la historia. Pero a pesar de todo he amado el libro porque es imaginativo y original y me encantan los cuentos de hadas. Si a eso le añades ciencia ficción y algún que otro toque basado en Sailor Moon esta historia es un win win lo mires por donde lo mires. A ver, una cenicienta moderna, cyborg, cuya historia se desarrolla en Nueva Pekín, en una

This book took me a while to get into, but once I did, I was hooked. It's by far my favorite, most original retelling of Cinderella I've ever read. I really enjoyed it. It was fairly predictable, and I knew who Cinder was from the very beginning, but who cares? When it's a good story, sometimes the predictability doesn't matter!

Anyone who know me knows I am a sucker for a Cinderella story almost to the point of obsession, and this one was no different. I love the world she created and I love the tie in to the fairy tail. I think one of my favorite things about this series is how each of the books simultaneously follows a classic fairy tale while tying into the previous book, while also coming up with an entirely new story altogether. Pretty clever.
A fun, unique twist on the Cinderella tale. Meyers did a nice job at making this old story fresh. You route for Cinder, though society and all odds seem against her.
Really good.
