Cinderby Marissa Meyer
What
if Prince Kai asked her to dance just to be polite? Cinder’s daydreams of
romance and royalty are short lived. Cyborgs don’t attend balls and they
certainly don’t get to dance with the Crown Prince of the Eastern Commonwealth.
In a distant future in which cyborgs are less than second class citizens,
Cinder has earned recognition as the best mechanic in New Beijing. Despite her
status, Prince Kai finds his way to her repair stand. Little does he know, he
needs her help with more than simple robot-repair. But the question remains,
what if he asked her to dance?
Praise for Cinder!
“Author Marissa Meyer rocks the fractured fairy tale genre with a sci-fi twist on Cinderella.” The Seattle Times
"Cinder is loads of fun—mostly due to seeing a familiar story play out in a new setting, but Cinder herself is also a tough, smart, mouthy, resourceful heroine, so spending almost 400 pages with her is completely enjoyable—and I'm totally, totally looking forward to the next one in the series." Bookshelves of Doom
"Terrific." Los Angeles Times
"Debut author Meyer ingeniously incorporates key elements of the fairy tale into this first series entry." Horn Book Magazine

“What they [readers] do not know until they begin turning the pages of this fable-turned-dystopian-science-fiction novel, is that Meyer’s embellishments create a spellbinding story of their own.” VOYA
"First in the Lunar Chronicles series, this futuristic twist on Cinderella retains just enough of the original that readers will enjoy spotting the subtle similarities. But debut author Meyer’s brilliance is in sending the story into an entirely new, utterly thrilling dimension. Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
