Synopsis
Sixteen-year-old Cinder is considered a technological mistake by most of society and a burden by her stepmother. Being cyborg does have its benefits, though: Cinder's brain interference has given her an uncanny ability to fix things (robots, hovers, her own malfunctioning parts), making her the best mechanic in New Beijing. This reputation brings Prince Kai himself to her weekly market booth, needing her to repair a broken android before the annual ball. He jokingly calls it "a matter of national security," but Cinder suspects it's more serious than he's letting on.
Although eager to impress the prince, Cinder's intentions are derailed when her younger stepsister, and only human friend, is infected with the fatal plague that's been devastating Earth for a decade. Blaming Cinder for her daughter's illness, Cinder's stepmother volunteers her body for plague research, an "honor" that no one has survived.
But it doesn't take long for the scientists to discover something unusual about their new guinea pig. Something others would kill for.
Review
Wow, I’ve been trying to read this book for sometime (years in fact). I could never get past chapter one. So I decided instead of trying to read the book physically, I would try audiobook it instead and I’m so glad I did. I loved the audio the narrator kept me captivated all the way through.
I loved Cinder and Iko. Prince Kai was interesting but had some flaws. I hate Queen Levana with a passion. This was a different take in the Cinderella story, that was enjoyable. The twists were predictable but fun.
Now off to listen to book 2.
