Cinder by Marissa Meyer

 


A dystopian Cinderella retelling and the first book in the Lunar chronicles. Cinder is a cyborg and works in a repair shop. Being a cyborg she doesn’t really have autonomy fitting into the whole Cinderella must work for her stepmother even though this is the future thing. One day, Prince Kai comes to her shop for help repairing one of his favorite droids. The book doesn’t end though with the traditional Cinderella ending, but continues through the rest of the series with books based on Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, and Snow White. I love a good retelling (especially if it’s Cinderella) and fully enjoyed this book.
