Cinder (Lunar chronicles #1) by Marissa Meyer
Meet Cinder, a beautiful girl who, due to necessary surgeries after an accident, is now a cyborg. Orphaned as a young teenager and after the death of her foster dad, she finds herself with a step-mother who treats her like a servant. Yes, there is also two step-sisters. Cinder is a talented mechanic and happens to run into Prince Kai (whose father is the Emperor of New Beijing) who needs her to repair an android. I followed the fairy tale with familiar twists told in a very unique way. It was fun to read how the pumpkin coach is translated in this version. Unusual aspects include the Lunar people, who threaten the very existence of Earth, and a mysterious plague. I reached the end of the book gripping the arms of my chair and felt very sad that the next book in a planned series quartet, Scarlet, is not yet published. Something to look forward to in 2013!
