Cinder is the first book in The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer that was published in 2012. I do not want to spoiler this story so I will say is that it is fairy tale retelling set in the future. It is the most amazing thing ever.
I gave this book 5 stars on Goodreads. First of all I love fairy tales and the only thing sad about it is that this book is more a retelling of the Disney Cinderella version while grew up with the 'original' German version. I still loved this novel. I have never read anything like it before so I do not know what to compare it to. I liked the characters and the 'world' it is set in. What impressed me the most was the seemingly natural incorporation of typical fairy tale themes like the evil stepmother. To me it never felt like they were just added to remind the reader of the fairy tale but all served a specific purpose in the story line.
This book is most definitely one of the best books I have ever read in my life. I have already ordered the sequel and cannot wait to get into it.
