Marissa Meyer's first novel in The Lunar Chronicles series introduces you to Cinder, a cyborg mechanic who lives in New Beijing with her stepmother and two stepsisters.
When her stepsister falls ill with the plague, a disease with no cure, her stepmother blames her and sends her to be a test subject as punishment.
Cinder is found to be immune to the plague, for reasons the doctors will not tell her right away, and she becomes very valuable in the race to find a cure.
The Emperor of New Beijing is also dying of the plague, and his son, Prince Kai, spends a lot of time in the research labs, and with Cinder. He doesn’t know that she is a cyborg, or a test subject.
As Cinder’s feelings for Kai grow, she is terrified. Who could love a cyborg?
It took me a while to get into this story, with there being so much going on all at once, but once it had hooked me, I couldn’t put it down.
This is a wonderful story that retells Cinderella in a truly unique way. ★★★★★
