For more of my reviews, check out Books For YA!

This book is not you're average fairy-tale retelling.

Imagine Cinderella's story in a dytopian setting where a disease is going rampant and taking the lives of so many innocent people and imagine Cinderella as a cyborg, working as a mechanic to give money to her stepmother. Imagine there is another species that exist in the moon and their queen is a cold-hearted murderer and is planning on conquering the Earth. Can you picture it now? Can you pictur ...more

We all know what happens in Cinderella. But this is no fairy tale. . .

First, before I start this possible train wreck of a review, I have to commend Meyer for her originality. I mean, a cyborg Cinderella? I have to be honest, I was a bit skeptical on this one, but after seeing many positive reviews I had to give Cinder a shot.

And I'm sooo glad I did because Cinder was just UH-MAY-ZING! It definitely lives up to the hype.

It was okay. I already guessed from the beginning that Cinder was Princess Selene. I know it is part of the Cinderella theme, the maltreatment of the stepmother, but I couldn't help but feel mad and hope that Cinder will lash out and at least strike Adri or Pearl back. I wish she was able to look glamorous and beautiful when she went to the ball though, but over-all it was okay.

Damn.
This is the first retelling of Cinderella I've ever read.

It's pure awesome!!!!!

Oh Prince Kai, I adore you sooo much, not only because you are so handsome, and not only because I imagine him as Kai of EXO, but because if his personality.

He is still to young to rule over the Eastern Commonwealth, and he knows this, and he know that he is not yet ready, and still doesn't know a lot about politics, but he accepted all.

I love how he would love intentionally infuriate the Queen.
So awesome.

3 stars.

I read this book after watching Disney's live action Cinderella. This book was okay, maybe even good but it was so slow. I'm still interested to read the other books in the series though.
