One last quick review for the summer reading club over at Quirky Bookworm.
Cinder by Marissa Meyer is a young adult sci-fi/fantasy Cinderella story set in a futuristic earth that is ravaged by plague. A large world war and an ever looming threat from the Lunars (aka a moon race) have caused the major forces on earth to unite. Enter Cinder, a cyborg mechanic who has an unlikely romance with the prince, discovers she may hold the keys that can destroy the plague, and unlocks a hopeful secret from her past. Of course, it wouldn't be a Cinderella story if there wasn't a nasty stepmother in there causing problems for Cinder along the way.
I had a hard time getting into this book. I didn't know much about it so the whole cyborg/android thing threw me a bit. Once I got past that, I did like it, but it was rather predictable. I did find that I really enjoyed the characters, and I am curious where the story is going so I will most likely pick up the next in the series. If you're looking for a light read and like sci-fi/fantasy, it may be right for you. :)
I apologize if it makes no sense, it's like 4:30 in the morning... ;)
Ha! Well it did make sense.
