Book Review of Cinder
By Sulphia Iqbal
Author of Cinder : Marissa Meyers
Book One of the Lunar Chronicles
Every book has a unique way
of changing something original to something ...new and intriguing. When I read Cinder,I
was amazed how well Marissa Meyers pulled that off in this book. Cinder
is an interesting combination of a Cinderella Classic and Science-Fiction,
which, to my amusement , worked out awesomely. And don’t worry, you don’t have
to be a princess-lover or something of that sort to like this book. This is
coming from someone who absolutely hates Fairy Tales. :)
Cinder, a cyborg mechanic, lives in a dystopian world filled with
androids and humans. She operates a mechanic stall at a street market in New
Beijing and lives with her evil stepmother ( Sound familiar? ). She meets
Prince Kai, who is the heir to the throne. He becomes dependable friend and
soon, changes her life. When Cinder’s stepsister get the savage plague that has
been killing millions, her stepmother naturally blames it on her,who, to her
stepmother’s belief, is a irresponsible robot human freak . When the Emperor
dies, Kai takes the throne and the Lunar Queen comes to form an alliance. No
one on earth trusts Lunars, but if peace is wanted, the Emperor must do
everything in their power to stop war. No one except Cinder knows for sure that
the Lunar Queen has other motives and when Cinder learns an impossible
truth,she realizes that she alone must make many choices that will either bring
peace or the wrath of Queen Levana upon Earth. The fate of both Earth and Luna
rests on her shoulders.
