I love this retelling of a classic story we all know- Cinderella。 Although I’ve never been a fan of the super techy-cyborg stories， this surprised me a lot。 I really liked where it was going。 The romance was definitely insta-love， the “reveal” occurred to me before hitting page 100， but all in all， a very well-written， charming little book

“Even in the Future the Story Begins with Once Upon a Time。”Entre as diversas obras que foram recontadas vezes e vezes sem contas， Cinder， é de facto， o retelling que mais conquistou desde a primeira vez que li （e já lá vão três vezes）。Os ajustes que a autora dá ao conto， para deixa-lo mais atual e num contexto social mais contemporâneo são tão grandes que dão à obra outro folego。 Como por exemplo， a construção de uma protagonista mais forte e independente num ambiente mais futurista e extre “Even in the Future the Story Begins with Once Upon a Time。”Entre as diversas obras que foram recontadas vezes e vezes sem contas， Cinder， é de facto， o retelling que mais conquistou desde a primeira vez que li （e já lá vão três vezes）。Os ajustes que a autora dá ao conto， para deixa-lo mais atual e num contexto social mais contemporâneo são tão grandes que dão à obra outro folego。 Como por exemplo， a construção de uma protagonista mais forte e independente num ambiente mais futurista e extremamente rico。 No geral， a história tem algumas partes que são fieis ao conto que conhecemos desde a nossa infância; Cinder mora com a sua madrasta e as suas meias-irmãs， vive presa aos deveres e aos desejos delas， mas a sua vida muda quando se vê no meio do baile， com um vestido emprestado e acaba por perder o seu sapato numa fuga inesperada。Mas o segredo para este livro é não esperar que estes elementos sejam os mais importantes para a história。 Nesta nova versão， Marissa Meyer， dá uma releitura mais aprofundada， carismática e futurista。 Com muitas personagens novas que podem （ ou não） conquistar o coração do leitor。Deixo aqui um convite para lerem e apaixonarem-se não só por este livro， mas por este mundo que Marissa Meyer nos trouxe 。。。 prometo que valerá a pena！ 。。。more

This was good， interesting， probably for a much younger audience but still held my interest。 A bit predictable， but if the other installments come about at the library when I have nothing else to read I might consider continuing the series。

I never really was keen on reading this， but when I picked it up， I wasn't disappointed at all！ I mean it was a bit too predictable， but I loved it anyway。 I never really was keen on reading this， but when I picked it up， I wasn't disappointed at all！ I mean it was a bit too predictable， but I loved it anyway。 。。。more

Predictable， but still an enjoyable read。 I loved the parallels between this book and the original cinderella。 Will be reading the next one soon！

La verdad es que no se que opinar respecto a este libro， ya que desde antes del décimo u onceavo capitulo yo ya habia deducido algo sobre Cinder。Lo que si puedo decir es que esta entretenido。Espero poder leer el siguiente libro。

Cinder is part of the Lunar Chronicles & I’ll be reading Scarlet soon。 This novel had such a creative and unique perspective on the classic Cinderella that it could barely be compared to the fairy tale。 I still loved the bits and pieces thrown in from the original version like little bread crumbs for romance lovers。 However， I don’t feel that Cinder was a romance。This sci-fi/ coming of age novel had great action scenes and I loved how each character had such clear and concise objectives。 I wante Cinder is part of the Lunar Chronicles & I’ll be reading Scarlet soon。 This novel had such a creative and unique perspective on the classic Cinderella that it could barely be compared to the fairy tale。 I still loved the bits and pieces thrown in from the original version like little bread crumbs for romance lovers。 However， I don’t feel that Cinder was a romance。This sci-fi/ coming of age novel had great action scenes and I loved how each character had such clear and concise objectives。 I wanted more emotion from Kai in regards to Cinder and their relationship。 I also felt that things weren’t resolved with Kai， so I hope that’s what the next book is for？The robots/cyborg/sci-fi genre isn’t my typical read and sometimes gives me the “freakouts” in fear of our humanity’s future regarding artificial intelligence。 But that’s a whole different topic。I’d read more of the series and hope that the next resolves a bit more。 I assumed correctly about the “big reveal” at the end of Cinder & wasn’t surprised so I’m hoping for more of a twist in the second。 Recommend this for YA， fantasy， & sci fi readers。 。。。more

Wow。 This will be a spoiler free review so don’t worry！ From the first chapter of this book I fell in love， from the locations， the characters， the setting， Cinder’s development… I just can’t begin to describe how good of a writer Marissa Meyer is， absolutely incredible。 Iko and Peony stole the show for me， two of the more developed characters we get to meet， I fell in love with them both， especially Iko’s quick wit and Peony’s wonderfully young outlook on life， Dr Erland didn’t do much for me a Wow。 This will be a spoiler free review so don’t worry！ From the first chapter of this book I fell in love， from the locations， the characters， the setting， Cinder’s development… I just can’t begin to describe how good of a writer Marissa Meyer is， absolutely incredible。 Iko and Peony stole the show for me， two of the more developed characters we get to meet， I fell in love with them both， especially Iko’s quick wit and Peony’s wonderfully young outlook on life， Dr Erland didn’t do much for me at the start， but towards the end， he became a really valuable character to me， and I hope I get to read more of him in the next books。 The enemies in this book are done fabulously， I genuinely hated them， Pearl and Adri were so easy to dislike， but I did find myself sometimes sympathetic to Adri， but it was quickly diminished by the things she’d say。 Queen Levana is as clever as she is evil， and I look forward to reading more about her in the next instalment。 Finally， I must talk about Cinder， she had my heart from the beginning， she is brave， beautiful， and always stands up for what she feels right， it might have took her time， but in the end she realised her worth， and I look forward to reading what she gets up too next。 。。。more

really liked this series but this has to be the most “okay” book out of it， i just personally do not like how little real moments we got of the two main characters but somehow they’re extremely attached to each other ？

Imagine Cinderella as a cyborg forced to work as a mechanic in a world where the threat of war comes not from other countries but from those settled on the Moon and called lunars！ That's Cinder in the city of New Beijing in this sci-fi cum fantasy retelling。I felt it was a very clever adaptation of the fairytale to this genre， complete with a handsome prince， aggravating stepmother who is actually Cinder's legal guardian and even a royal ball。 A deadly disease is plaguing the earth and Cinder is Imagine Cinderella as a cyborg forced to work as a mechanic in a world where the threat of war comes not from other countries but from those settled on the Moon and called lunars！ That's Cinder in the city of New Beijing in this sci-fi cum fantasy retelling。I felt it was a very clever adaptation of the fairytale to this genre， complete with a handsome prince， aggravating stepmother who is actually Cinder's legal guardian and even a royal ball。 A deadly disease is plaguing the earth and Cinder is pulled into the vortex of research to find a cure even as the Queen of the lunars is bent on extracting a heavy price from the Prince for the peace of the planet。An intriguing premise that's been written really well and I look forward to reading the other books in the series。 。。。more

I love this entire series so much （Cress is my fav） but weirdly enough I almost didn’t finish this book because I found it predictable and boring （idk what I was thinking）。 But I’m so glad I did because it really picked up and I love it

Gratamente sorprendida porque no esperaba que me gustara por el tema de la distopía y los ciborgs pero… La historia atrapa desde el inicio， habían momentos en que amaba a Cinder y otros en los que me frustraba！ Kai <3Iko！ <3 <3Levana！ Bruja！

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 A refreshing new take on the story we've come to see and hear in our childhood。The atmosphere in which the book is set up， the characters were all very intriguing。 The focal point is the story line which is predictable & after a certain point becomes very apparent about the twist that the entire book is leading upto very early on。 At least it was very clear to me within the first few chapters with the repetitive mention of the lost Princess， etc etc。 However， I did enjoy this book as a light rea A refreshing new take on the story we've come to see and hear in our childhood。The atmosphere in which the book is set up， the characters were all very intriguing。 The focal point is the story line which is predictable & after a certain point becomes very apparent about the twist that the entire book is leading upto very early on。 At least it was very clear to me within the first few chapters with the repetitive mention of the lost Princess， etc etc。 However， I did enjoy this book as a light read and a much needed distraction amid the times。 Read it through audible and the experience was simply amazing。 Hoping the other books in this series live up to the hype and my expectations。 Fingers crossed。 3。5 stars。 。。。more

This was fantastic！ Not at all what I expected but in the best way possible。 The last few chapters had me putting the book down to compose myself！ The only thing I could wish is that Kai had a little more page time to develop but that’s a miner issue。 I have the next book on hold at the library so I can continue the series！

I thought this was gonna be one of the popular books that don't live up to the hype。I WAS ABSOLUTELY WRONG！I liked Cinder and Kai was soo sweet that I think I have a toothache。LOL。 I hate Adri and Pearl so so much。 They remind me of the evil step-sister and step-mom from cinderella。 I felt like Peony was neither good nor bad。I wish Cinder would be a little more confident in her self and I was proud AF when she finally rebelled after Adri signed her up for that cyborg draft。 That scene where she I thought this was gonna be one of the popular books that don't live up to the hype。I WAS ABSOLUTELY WRONG！I liked Cinder and Kai was soo sweet that I think I have a toothache。LOL。 I hate Adri and Pearl so so much。 They remind me of the evil step-sister and step-mom from cinderella。 I felt like Peony was neither good nor bad。I wish Cinder would be a little more confident in her self and I was proud AF when she finally rebelled after Adri signed her up for that cyborg draft。 That scene where she came to the ball in a dirty ballgown and her name was announced。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。 EFFING PRICELESS！ I think that was my fav scene from the entire bookI liked this book very much and can't wait to read the next book。 come to think of it， I think I'll do my homework tomorrow and read "Scarlet" tonight itself！ I'm sooo excited。 。。。more

It's one of my favorite fiction books。 It has a lot of adventures and problems hero need to solve。 And how the book is filled with a familiar story about Cinder but in different way。 It's like something from past but in the future。 I like it very much It's one of my favorite fiction books。 It has a lot of adventures and problems hero need to solve。 And how the book is filled with a familiar story about Cinder but in different way。 It's like something from past but in the future。 I like it very much 。。。more

Interesting dystopian world， cool twist on Cinderella！ “They were beautiful。 The most beautiful things she’d ever owned。 But if there was one thing she knew from years as a mechanic， it was that some stains never came out。”

When I first saw this book and its red high heeled shoe I had no desire to read it。 The cover was too much like Twlight， which is surely what was intended。 Before reading a new book I never read the cover or end pages; I like to enter the story without any preconceptions。 And in this case I judged the book by the cover （art） and dismissed it。 However， when I saw the new cover with a strong and beautiful Asian girl I was drawn in。 So glad， I feel like such a heel for judging a book by its cover。
