This book is a great sci-fi retelling of Cinderella, where Cinder is not only the downtrodden step-daughter, but part cyborg as well. D not read this book looking for a happily ever after - it is a roller coaster ride that doesn't always go where you are expecting. The plot itself was excellent, harkening back to the original fairy tale just enough that you remembered the inspiration, but not so much that it doesn't stand on its own. Overall, I thought this book was definitely an enjoyable read.

I loved this book! It was so easy to read and get through, I had trouble putting it down! It was perfect on my cruise.

Ultimately awesome story-telling though. I legit cried because of these adorable, awkward romantic scenes. There's some sad stuff, but also a fair set of sass and other humor. I felt what Cinder felt as I was going (listening to the audio book). #RealT ...more

I enjoyed this re-telling of Cinderella. Not only is it based in the future and in China....Cinder (ella) is a cyborg! Very cool. I especially loved Iko, who reminds me of someone I love dearly; silly, devoted, small, smart and snarky. Nicely written and it moved along well. I am excited to read the next book, Scarlet!
An unique twist on a classic fairy tale. I'm interested to see where Cress takes the story.
