YA. And a good book with a modern sci-fi take on the fairy tale Cinderella. The characters are very well written, and the story had me burning up the pages. Not a big fan of Sci-fi, I had not considered thus series, but I really liked it and will read the next 7 or 8 😁

The screw through Cinder‘s ankle had rusted, the engraved cross marks worn to a mangled circle. Her knuckles ached from forcing the screwdriver into the joint as she struggled to loosen the screw one gritting twist after another.

Vanity is a factor, but it is more a question of control. It is easier to trick others into perceiving you as beautiful if you can convince yourself you are beautiful. But mirrors have an uncanny way of telling the truth.

Cinderella is a cyborg, the prince and his palace are in New Beijing, the wicked stepmother is outdone by a vicious queen from outer space, and a plague adds to all the peril, but the adventure, romance,and heroism are as epic and enchanting as ever in this sci-fi young adult retelling of the classic fairy tale. I look forward to continuing the series, meeting more fairy tale heroines in new forms, and exploring more of Cinder‘s universe!

I think this would be great for children who like Cinderella as this is loosely based on the classic

“Even in the future the story begins with once upon a time”

I love the mystery of this! It is very intriguing and interesting

So, I‘m just in the mood to reread some of my favorite fairytale retellings 🙂 I forgot how intense this book was. Cinder and Kai just break the heart ❤️‍🩹 so many moments had me 😢 IKO and Peony 😭😭 My deep hate for the Queen and her stepmother I wanted to slap them both.
Kai is one of my favorite Princes. He was kind, funny, charming and made very good decisions considering the crazy situation.

I‘ve always been a sucker for fairy tales #LunarChronicles#MarissaMeyer

Thanks for the tag @Eggs

I tagged the first book in The Lunar Chronicles. It would be my dream to see this series made into a tv series!

It‘s a book you read for 10 min and stop realizing it‘s been 45 min. The story pulls you in so deep in its mystery and politics. Cinder and Kai have chemistry. Even as she is a cyborg; the lowest of bearings on earth. She really does belong to her stepmother. What‘s exciting about this Cinderella retelling is the addition of Lunars (moon superiority complex) trying to take over earth. Now add a complex Lunar plague on earth to find a cure for

I can't believe it took me this long to read this book. I really enjoyed this retelling of Cinderella. I like the whole Lunar and cyborg aspect of it. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

4⭐️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This may very well be my new favorite book of this year...and possible favorite series?! We will have to see. I am so stoked to read all of the upcoming books and thankfully I've got the second one ready to be read. Cinder is soooo likeable and I just love how Marissa Meyer made this retelling so unique. Pure genius in my opinion 💜 also Iko was a favorite side character!

For the #letterc , I'll go with Cinder. It's one I return to any time I want something light and fun and fast-paced. It's not perfect, but I have yet to encounter a more unique Cinderella retelling. The sci-fi angle is a blast.

1. I believe so, but most of what I read are with humans.

2. Not sure if it counts, but Cinder is a cyborg, so that‘s kinda non-human.

This was a fun twist on Cinderella including a plague storyline that made it timely. #LMPBC

👥 Iko [The Lunar Chronicles]
👥 Depending on the story I like both

My last book for April was my second book for April‘s Cinderella #FairyTaleReadingChallenge. I‘m glad I finally started this series! I love the mythology and I liked the first installment even more than I thought I would. Looking forward to May‘s challenges! @Charityann

I think this book has been on my TBR since it first was published in 2012 haha Worth the wait - creative and fun with likable characters. I did feel like the place cyborgs had in society wasn't very well explained, but on the whole I really enjoyed this one. And since it's been on my list ten years, I don't have to wait for the rest of the series! Bought all the others on Pango so they should be here next week!!

Someone gifted this one to me ⬇️

Cinder, a gifted mechanic, has no intentions in being swept up in interplanetary politics & a murderous Queen. But that‘s precisely what happens when Prince Kai asks her to repair an android.

I‘m really glad I had the opportunity to visit this again! The sci fi was fun, very space opera. Cinder was great & had a agency. The prince had his own story. I‘m curious to see what happens after that cliffhanger, so I‘ve got the sequel on hold! 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

Doctor says the leg pain of the last few days is probably the beginnings of a small blood clot. 🙃🙃

So it‘s a take it easy day today!

Loved this book and so happy to have the anniversary edition!!!!! 😍😍😍

It snowed yesterday. 😤

I was getting all excited for spring, going to pull off the covers of the patio furniture. And snow. Boo.

So I‘m curling up with some cinnamon apple tea with a bit of honey and my #LMPBC book. #GroupU

I forgot to check my mail yesterday! Look what‘s here @Endowarrior21 ! So shiny! I am so excited to get started as soon as I finish off Vonnegut! 💕

My #LMPBC is on its way to @ozma.of.oz and my #SpeculativeSpringSwap @Avanders and my #LitsyLovesAnimals @DinoMom @ShelleyBooksie are on there way to their persons.

This will be on its way to you Friday @ozma.of.oz . I did not get to read it so I can't wait to see what you guys think of it. @ozma.of.oz @Bookwormjillk @Johanna414 #LMPBC @suvata

I read Cinder years ago & enjoyed it! Book one of The Lunar Chronicles. YA so beware of the typical tropes. I liked the original covers, I may collect them all.

Just finished this game n my bedtime read… (see what I mean) … on my kindle app cute story

Society takes places at the time with futuristic advanced technology and high risk of being infected by a deathly plague. Cinder, is just a mechanic that is trying to get through life by her awful step family. Likewise, the emperor decided to host a ball to find Prince Kai, an empress. However, she cannot go to the event even though she wants to. She was a cyborg and no prince would ever want to be in a presence near her.

So I was gonna go with The Witch Haven as my pick for #LMPBC this round but I can't find it lol so Cinder it is lol plus I have not read it since it came out 10 years ago so it is going to be fun going back into that world all over again. @Bookwormjillk @Johanna414 @ozma.of.oz

A deformed cyborg with a missing foot.
A Lunar with a stolen identity.
A mechanic with no one to run to, nowhere to go.
But they would be looking for a ghost.

Here is another series I love that I ended up getting second copies of because they changed the covers and the new ones are TOO BEAUTIFUL TO RESIST! 😍 I mean seriously, look at them! I resisted for as long as I could and then ended up just caving one day! 😂🤣 There are worse things in the world than having two sets of a book series you love, right? 🙈💕📚💕

Finished this one today. I really didn't want to read this one believe it or not, but finally decided to give it a chance. The story of Cinderella has a special place in my heart, so I was concerned. But honestly, this was so loosely based in my opinion that I quite enjoyed it. I think I'll continue on with the series and see what happens.

Joey! Thank you so much for these comfy socks and awesome cat clips!! And the book sounds amazing! I think I have another one in this series! Merry Christmas 🎄

A fun, if predictable start of the series. I‘m starting #Scarlet right after!

#cinder #marissameyer

An adventurous sci-fi fairytale retelling & an incredibly creative read with a lot of fun & intrigue built in. Absolutely its own story. There are parallels with the original tale, but so much of it is unique & new. The plot is admittedly a bit predictable, but still fun. The pacing is good & the detail in the writing evokes a pretty powerful atmosphere. The characters carry the story. I'm totally sucked in to this world & I'm ready for more.

I'm looking forward to revisiting this series.

If there had been one more page of plague stuff, this would be a so-so (I‘m not ready for that yet). I like modern retellings but I think I like future retellings better now. My one thing is that I wish that instead of Cinder gaining over Kai maybe it could have been vise-versa?
