Book Review: Cinder by Marissa Meyer
Here is my first book review:
Cinder by Marissa Meyer was a debut, incredibly written novel, which takes place in a futuristic world. Cinder works as a mechanic in New Beijing, providing for her vial step mother and somewhat kind step sisters. This world is anywhere but safe, for there is a looming plaque the haunts the land of New Beijing, threatening to destroy all of the people living. When one her sisters catches the plaque, her step mother convicts the blame on Cinder and raging hatred spurs between the two. Cinder's step mother, out of complete disgust, tells her she may not tend the annual ball. But, once Cinder's life gets intertwined with the handsome Prince Kai, already pronounced to be married with the princess from the moon, everything goes wrong. Cinder is now caught up in a galactic struggle against the future queen. A twist on the original book, Cinderella, Cinder must face her own hardening complications, even more so than Cinderella. For no one knows that the fate of the Earth is in one cyborg's hands.

This book series is one i stumbled onto and am profoundly glad that i did. Meyer takes the classic realm of fairy-tales (cinder being cinderella, Scarlet being Little red riding hood, Cress being rapunzel, and Winter being Snow White) and makes them completely her own. This is a PHENOMENAL book series that i would recommend to anyone who likes a sci-fi take on a classic fairy tale
