A cyberpunk retelling of Cinderella, set 126 years after the end of World War IV in the province of New Beijing. Cinder - a cyborg left in the care of her stepmother after her father's death - is wonderfully relatable, smart, driven, and kind. As one of the province's best mechanics, she finds herself pulled into the life of the Crown Prince Kai, the search for a cure to the illness sweeping the planet, and the mystery that is the Queen of the Moon and her people.

Cinder grabbed me from the first moment and didn't let go for a single second. Well written, evocative, and interesting from beginning to end, this is the phenomenal first book in what is sure to be an amazing quartet of books.
