Everyone knows well and knew the famous fairy tale of Cinderella, and many in fact it is here completely revised and corrected futuristic sauce. But i loved it, story is well constructed, we find it, in the character of Cinderella Cinder, a young Cyborg, half human half robot, which works hard to satisfy his shrewish stepmother and her two daughters very demanding. Cinder's heart on the hand, it is just and courageous. It also includes the prince, who is organizing a ball to find a wife. And it also falls under the spell of Cinder.
Beyond these similarities, the story is quite different, and that is that I liked it precisely lauteure worked the script, it sest not simply to copy and paste and dy add two or three robots, she ALL OPERATING really reworked, adding ingredients and removing other elements become useless, the fairy godmother point for example, here. As against the magic is present, but in another form.
The action takes place in China in New Beijings, this is very original for a dystopia, and that changes the USA! In some part, this novel made me think of Star Wars, it has a small political side or the States must try to extricate themselves, one side resist Levana, Queen Lunar who dreams of colonizing Earth, and a terrible epidemic decimating the people of New Beijing and the planet. When New Beijing emperor finally succumbed in turn to the epidemic of dengue fever, Prince Kai feels trapped, Levana imposes its presence on Earth, and puts the pressure it is being squeezed, and political maneuvering began.
I'm not gone far from the heart for me, in fact I thought mistakenly that this book would be much more futuristic, and in fact this is a dystopia, very well written, the only downside, the end a bit too open, which leaves me unsatisfied. Strongly thereafter.
