Alright, I just finished this one the other day and unfortunately cannot get the second in the series for a little while! :( Cinder is an extremely interesting book because it is a brand new fantasy/dystopian thriller that alludes constantly back to the original Cinderella story. Cinder is the best cyborg mechanic in the Earthen Commonwealth. She is forced to work and provide money for her horrible stepmother and two stepsisters. Cinder meets Prince Kai when he drops off a palace android for her to fix. Kai insists his need for her to fix this android is solely just sentimental but Cinder suspects there is a more important reason the prince brought her the android instead of just bringing it to the palace mechanics. Meanwhile, there is a plague that is ravaging Earth. When one of Cinder's stepsisters contracts it, her stepmother volunteers Cinder for the cure, knowing that no one ever returns from this. Can Cinder save the day and prevent her demise? Read this one, it's great!
