Cinder

RE-read
It just couldn't hold my attention. I want to bring the rating down, but perhaps my surroundings are at fault and not so much the book.
Looking forward to reading Scarlet again :)

This was amazing. I've read many fairy tale re-dos but, this one really was great.

Cinder is a cyborg in New Beijing in a time when a raging disease taking its toll on the world. Cyborgs are looked down on and treated like slave or second-degree citizens but, worse than cyborgs are the Lunars. Lunars are people who live on the moon and can use glamour, a type of magic, to manipulate the way people think or see things. Unfortunately the queen on the Lunars is the worst of the lot and trying to marry Prince Kai.

There is obviously more going on but this is the bare bones of the book with Cinder trying to escape her living situation and Prince Kai trying to find a cure for the disease.
This is SO easy to read, a quick read. But, it is was so different from Cinderella and after a while I forgot about it. There is a lot going on but, it isn't hard to keep track of everything.

Are the plot twists easy to figure out? Mystery not quite a mystery? Yeah, kinda. BUT it was still really interesting.
Ending what I expected? No! I loved it and I can't wait to start the next book.
