I read this book in a day. Really really loved it. Such a unique and compelling take on the Cinderella story with a Cinderella (Cinder) who is strong, smart, and brave.

The story is a loose adaptation of Cinderella, set in a future version of China, in which cyborgs live among humans, but have limited rights and are treated as second class citizens. A plague is sweeping the country and the world is threatened by the Lunars, who were once human colonists on the moon but since settling there
