„Cinderella Retold“

"Cinder" is the first book of "The Lunar Chronicles" and a great start to a series that will leave you asking for more.
Cinder isn't your average kind of girl. As if being a teenage mechanic weren't enough to turn her into a social outcast, she also happens to be a cyborg - which doesn't help at all. Not being wanted by her stepmother
"Cinder" is the first book of "The Lunar Chronicles" and a great start to a series that will leave you asking for more.
Cinder isn't your average kind of girl. As if being a teenage mechanic weren't enough to turn her into a social outcast, she also happens to be a cyborg - which doesn't help at all. Not being wanted by her stepmother and -sister Cinder doesn't exactly lead an easy life.
When meeting the young prince of the Eastern Commonwealth things seem to look up for a while, but her joy is short-lived when she suddenly gets blamed for her sister's disease and subsequently is sold off as a guinea pig to a research center. But there she gets to know herself better than she ever dreamed of...
Take a cyborg, some androids and extraterrestrials, add a horrendous disease and throw in a handsome prince for good measure and you'll get the captivating and unique story that is "Cinder".
I very much enjoyed reading this new twist on the beloved tale "Cinderella" and am eager to dive into the second book in this series to see how things unfold.
I highly recommend this book to teenagers aged 14.
