Cinder
By Marissa Meyer
Genre: Young Adult Science Fiction
Personal Rating: 10/10

This is the first book in the very popular Lunar Series! I am very mad at myself for not picking up this book sooner! I've heard nothing but good things about the entire series, but I didn't think they would be my type of books for some odd reason. Even though this book is about 400 pages long, it reads very fast--I read the whole book in less than two days.

If you don't know what this book is about, basically it is a science fiction retelling of Cinderella. And the Cinderella in this novel is a cyborg mechanic. Sounds interesting, right? This book follows Cinder's journey of discovering her true identity, while trying to keep out smart an evil queen.

I really didn't think I would like these books very much, despite how much good I've been hearing about them. I loved the futuristic world that
Marissa Meyer set up, and I loved what she did with this fairy tale to make it like nothing I've ever read before. Her writing is honestly very enjoyable and easy to read. I never felt like I was reading a 400 page book! It went by so fast! Also, this book was very clean with very little language and no disturbing or graphic descriptions.
