It's definitely not part of the darker oeuvre the market is currently saturated with in fairy tale retellings, but it isn't sweet and happy either. Cyborgs are tricky and science fiction can turn off some genre readers who abstain from it on principle, but they shouldn't skip this one because I think it will appeal to a broader audience. The story was interesting and kept me reading along with Meyer's approachable writing style. I will simply say that this is Cinderella unlike I've ever read her before. I'm not going to write a thoughtful review right now. But Cinder tempted me and while I hate being stuck waiting for the next book, I am glad I read the first one. Meyer had an ARC sent to me and an extra one that I am giving away as part of the December Giveaway: Favorite Fairy Tale Things. If you're curious, I usually wait until all three are published to read any-I buy and shelve to be read later if it's an author I want to support. Cinder: Book One in the Lunar Chronicles by Melissa Meyer intrigued me so much that it convinced me to break my own rule about reading trilogies. ![]()
