Lunars, the people who colonized the moon, have evolved into a separate race with the ability to create glamours and bend others to their will. Her spaceships aren’t even her biggest threat. Cyborgs, considered less than human, are used as unwilling test subjects.Īs if that wasn’t enough for the young prince to deal with, the evil Lunar queen is threatening war if her demands are not met, and one of those demands is to marry the prince. Desperate to combat the disease, the government issued the cyborg draft. There’s no cure and it has a 100% mortality rate.
The plague that has swept the globe has come to New Beijing and Prince Kai’s father, the emperor, has been diagnosed with the disease. And of course there is a ball coming up, which both the stepsisters are preparing for, but that’s where the Cinderella plotline ends. Yes, Cinder has an evil step-mother, her legal guardian who practically owns her, and two step-sisters, but only one is evil and she’s really more bratty than evil. She keeps it a secret from him that she’s a cyborg, because cyborgs are looked down upon and have few rights.

The crown prince, Kai comes to her to have his android fixed. Cinder is a mechanic living in the capital of New Beijing. The market is flooded with fairy tale retellings, and I almost didn’t read Cinder, but it looked popular on goodreads (and I found it on sale for $2) so I decided to give it a shot and I’m glad that I did.Ĭinder is set after the fourth world war, where the world is divided into six kingdoms. Seriously that’s the plot, but it’s a good book honest. Oddly enough the book I recommend most right now is Cinder, where Cinderella is a cyborg. Cinder, Scarlet & Cress (Winter forthcoming)
