Cinder by Marissa Meyer

I put Cinder on my library queue because the idea of a cyborg Cinderella sounded different and interesting. I'm glad I did because I really enjoyed Cinder.
Cinder is a cyborg with a horrible stepmother and two stepsister (Peony who she gets along with and Pearl who is like her mother, horrible). I liked Cinder. She's smart, independent, and creative. She's certainly not waiting for a prince to come and sweep her off her feet. She's got plans. But there is a prince that unfortunately doesn't get much fleshing out but hopefully we'll get to know him more in the next book. I loved this strange version of Earth, androids, humans, and cyborgs all living together. I think Meyer did a good job of world building. I look forward to learning more about Cinder's world in the next book.
Overall, I enjoyed Cinder. I think it was a good first book in an upcoming trilogy. Certainly keep me engaged. Others who shared their thoughts on Cinder: Becky's Book Reviews, The Broke and The Bookish, Book Journey, Books Devoured, The Discriminating Fan Girl, Debbie's World of Books, Hopelessly Devoted Bibliophile, and Paranormal Indulgence.
