A wicked mash-up of fairy tale and Terminator—set in a Star Wars kind of world—Marissa Meyer's Cinder is a fresh and fiercely ingenious futuristic retelling of Cinderella

Cinder, a gifted mechanic, is a cyborg. She's a second-class citizen with a mysterious past, reviled by her stepmother and blamed for her stepsister's illness.

Most. Unrivaled. Book(s). Ever.
i simply don’t have the words. (when i write this review it is for the whole series) first off, a HUGE THANK YOU to Marisa Myers for taking the time to transfer these elite ideas into words and onto pages. i just love you as an author. i own all of the paperback copy’s (i simply prefer paperback over hardcover 🤷♀️), along with the graphic novels. In this order:
Cinder
Scarlet
Cress
Winter
Stars Above
Fairest
Wires and Nerve Volume 1
Wires and Nerve Volume 2
(on her website she has little shorts “continuing the story” like little COVID-19 excerpts)
Wow. I love every word she chose to write, from the beginning to the end of every page of each book. The relationships, heroic acts,but hey. We all gotta love the sarcasm. we learn about the evil queen levana posses, and we become apart of the rampion crew to defeat her. I gotta say Iko just slays in every appearance she makes. My favorite relationship might have to either be Cress and Thorne, or Scarlet and Wolf, of Cinder and Kai… oh it’s not my fault. I just can’t choose! This series is just period. Slay. like everyone else says everywhere, read one book, you gotta read the whole series. so overall: read it. this is your warning. if you don’t, mmmmmm. may shame be brought upon. nah i’m jk. but like seriously, you should.
Kai
Okay so all my reviews talking about the characters
So Kai is kinda dashing but so obsessive and you could tell from the star he was going to be super annoying and “dashing” like stop ace king miss girl to go to the ball wit you. Anyways i hate how he doesn’t try to defend cinder at the end but overall this boy is a 4 star still super good but could be better. But i like how… hold on if you haven’t finished the series do not read this next part… i love how he is more funny and he asked cinder to marry him at the end and gives her foot back to her lol and in Scarlett how they make a bet on cinders going to lose her foot lol lol 😹
So good
Cinder is such a good book and I love the other books to but to. But this is the best one.🙂🙂🙂
