I liked this book a lot I thought it was really interesting. It was about a girl named Cinder and she was getting blamed for her sister’s illness by her stepmother. Some of that changed when she met a handsome prince named Kai, she found herself at the center of a struggle and a forbidden attraction to him. I’m not going to ruin anything else of this book if you want to know what happens go read it! :)
I thought cinder was a really interesting book I really liked it. I really enjoyed the twist on Cinderella and the characters. with cinder,& Kai. I liked how Kai was so devoted to his country especially when he became the emperor and how he didn't fall for all the Lunar queens tricks.
I thought this book was one of the best books I've read in awhile. My favorite part was when the Kai and Cinder met, Cinder tried to not look at him, and was so shy. I do recommend this book for anyone who is into what might happen in the future, and the paranormal. Check this book out!
I personally always loved fairytales, so reading Cinder was pretty amazing the entire time. I must say however, that the back on of the book does not do the book justice!! Cinder is about this cyborg whom just like Cinderella, has an evil stepmother and two step sisters expect only one of them is mean… Peony, the nice sister dreams about attending the ball so when the Prince Kai comes into Cinder’s shop one day, Peony is dying to know everything that happened. However, when Peony falls ill her dreams about going to the ball are shattered and she comes face to face with death… This doesn’t just happen to Peony - it’s happening to the world. A plaque called Letmumosis has taken the lives of many, and threatens to take the Emperor’s as well. Cinder herself thought she was just this ordinary cyborg when that is far, far from the truth. Cinder is special, more special than anybody even herself realizes. The truth about who Cinder really is comes out when Cinder becomes a medical experiment all thanks to her stepmother. This isn’t all bad though, because the Prince and Cinder start to fall for one another. All the while Peony is slowly dying. That thought never leaves Cinder's mind, so when the cure from the Lunar Queen is placed in the Prince’s hand mourning has come all too soon. War is being threatened all because of Cinder on the night of the ball and the new Emperor (the Prince) finds out the secrets Cinder has been keeping not just from him, but from the world.
I liked the idea of Cinderella in the future, i.e. the area of time labeled t.e., whenever that may be. I do believe the author did a good job, but could have done better. I must first address the Lunars. If living on the moon really does change your bio-chemical makeup so that they can control people through altering there bio-electricity causing synapses to fire in ways that cause them to see, feel, etc. differently, I would like to know how. How would they even be able to terraform the moon to hold an atmosphere? wouldn't the low gravity weaken the inhabitants' skeletons over the generations? What ingredient vital to the letumosis vaccine can only be found on the moon, and not on earth? How did they manage to make werewolf soldiers? The ending did have a good setup for a sequel, and I expect all of these questions and more to be answered. On another note, the Eastern Commonwealth is the name that Japan took for itself and its colonies in the time leading up to WWII, does this mean they try again and succeed in WWIII/I? Other than these things I mentioned I liked the book.
