“It was made out to be some kind of honor, giving your life for the good of humanity, but it was really just a reminder that cyborgs were not like everyone else.”

Cinder, is a talented mechanic and a cyborg. Because of that she is considered a low class citizen. Her stepmother and one of her stepsisters tolerate her, but see her rather go. When Cinder meets handsome Prince Kai she finds herself in a intergalactic struggle with a dangerous attraction. Can she find answers about her past to help her sick stepsister and can she resist the prince to protect her world's future?

I love retellings and when I learned about this one being a mash up with Star Wars and Cinderella, I knew that this had to be good. And it was. I absolutely loved this world and this new kick ass Cinder. Not only was this world very interring with a New Bejing with an emperor, a lunar colony and a European community I also loved the cyborg part of it. Especially the themes it discussed because of it, disability and the way people frown upon being disabled. I also loved, no adored Iko, the help of Cinder and the humor their dialogues brought.
Did I have some things to nag about. Yes I did have some points that I wasn’t that thrilled about. The ending, don’t worry, not going to spoil it, was somewhat meh. I’ve seen those endings a lot and it just don’t get the same emotion as it used to when I was younger. But despite that I liked this book a lot. Enjoyed the original outtake on such a old classic fairytale.
