Cinder: Book One of the Lunar Chronicles (Hardcover)

Customer Review

I do not know exactly why, but for a while I was convinced Cinder was a cowboy novel Cyborg. Utter rubbish, as it turns out, but that time is reason enough to make a wide berth around the book. Eventually, I then decided to yet again to read the blurb exactly and from then on I knew I must have the book. Cyborgs really come before it, but a cowboy has guaranteed never seen this book.

Pretty soon I realized that Cinder is a modern interpretation of the fairy tale Cinderella. Starting with the name of the protagonist, about the lost shoe and the pumpkin as a means - a lot of small details have been "remodeled", built in Cinder and make the story so unmistakable. However, the rest of the story is anything but magical. Dystopian conditions prevail in New Beijing and a deadly plague moves all in fear and terror. It can happen to anyone unexpectedly and then everything happens very quickly. Death within just a few days.

This plague is also to bring the Cinders life takes an unexpected turn. To what extent, I can not tell, but it's very interesting. Regardless learns Cinder Prince Kai know who turns out to be a very intelligent and charming guy. Hello, Prince Charming. But Cinder Cinder would not, they would respond immediately to all his wishes and play the naive girl. But on the contrary. Kai bites his teeth at Cinder and can not understand why. His perseverance in all the honors! Cinder reminds me over a bit to Sydney from Bloodlines because of their love for cars and their thick skull, and also a little of Cinderella from Three Wishes for Cinderella for their audacity to the prince. I like totally! She is sarcastic and intelligent and so on ... Also their androids Iko (of course, a girl's name!) I really like. A defective chip makes her an exceptionally witty and recognizable personality to the day puts more girlish quirks than that of Cinder.

But now again to Prince Charming, also known as Kai. Since the book in the "He / she is writing perspective, there are some scenes where the action is told from his point of view. One learns something about his feelings and his life circumstances that he is a prince, not are always terrific. For his age he must take an incredible responsibility and that he has despite everything to preserve its vitality is comforting. He and Cinder are at a level in terms of the sarcasm and always makes for fun conversation. The two were a cute couple, were it not for these many problems ... The heartbreak is virtually inevitable.

Cinder is a cyborg and therefore "bottom drawer" in society. Clearly, the quay should not learn. But then there's her evil stepmother who does everything bad and laugh probably going to the basement. And finally there's the Lunar ...
Admittedly, life on the moon would have to save up and be able to transfer to another continent, but good. The Lunar are certainly descendants of people who have relocated to the moon and may have certain skills. Mind control and manipulation are two of them. A very "special" copy has it in for the earth and brings Kai in distress. Every time when the language came on them, have superscript hackles with me and in everything she said I could have her prefer one over fried. (That was me at the stepmother and so ... maybe the two were separated at birth?)

From the love story ago Cinder was so before a direct hit at me. In the remaining actions also, but I have to say that it was really predictable in some places. The biggest goal of all the palace (and everywhere else) to lay the queen of Lunar craft and for that you need ... well, something very specific is. Already after the first mention of it was clear to me how the wind blows, but was of falling voltage nothing to remember. On The Contrary. I read and read and read and did not want to stop. A mystery here, a threat there and I was happy. In between a few entertaining flirting attempts of the prince and tadaa, Lisa hovering in seventh heaven. When Cinder then end up still delivers a cinematic presentation, I would have swung and cheered like to flag. It may sound sarcastic, but it really is not meant. I just had so much fun reading! Predictability (and a few small errors) or not, I loved it!

CONCLUSION
Cinder is a successful new interpretation of Cinderella, get their money's worth in the science fiction and Love Story fans. I find Cinder gorgeous and in conjunction with Kai can be prepared for a lot of laughs, but also heartache. The crux of the story is revealed pretty quickly, but that did not detract at least for me the joy of reading. On The Contrary. I look forward to the future volumes, where we meet again Cinder, where the protagonists will be, however, other ...
