I took an unplanned trip to Barnes & Nobles this week with my mom and older brother, he had a gift card to use from Christmas so I tagged along. Of course I brought home some new books to add to my ever growing collection!
So what am I reading now?
Cinder - The Lunar Chronicles
What is Cinder about? The reason I grabbed this book was the cover. It caught my attention right away. I honestly had no idea what it was about but the cover was interesting enough for me to want it.
Cinder is not about princesses and magic, which is what I first thought it would have. It is about androids running the streets of China. People from space are watching, and waiting, to make their move. Cinder is a mechanic with a past filled with mystery. She is also a cyborg! her past starts to haunt her when her stepmother blames her for her stepsisters sickness. Her life gets mixed in with Prince Kai and she is stuck in the middle of an intergalactic war. She has to uncover secrets about her past to protect her future.
The story is very unique to the original. It is a new twist on a great Cinderella classic. All the trickery from a good evil stepmother, all the adventures of a good fairy tale with a modern twist.
