Summary:
Sixteen-year-old Cinder is considered a technological mistake by most of society and a burden by her stepmother. Being a cyborg does have its benefits, though: Cinder's brain interface has given her an uncanny ability to fix things (robots, hovers, her own malfunctioning parts), making her the best mechanic in New Beijing. This reputation brings Prince Kai himself to her weekly market booth, needing her to repair a broken android before the annual ball. He jokingly calls it "a matter of national security", but Cinder suspects it's more serious than he's letting on.
Although eager to impress the prince, Cinder's intentions are derailed when her younger stepsister, and only human friend, is infected with the fatal plague that's been devastating Earth for a decade. Blaming Cinder for her daughter's illness, Cinder's stepmother volunteers her body for plague research, an "honor" that no one has survived.
But it doesn't take long for the scientists to discover something unusual about their new guinea pig. Something others would kill for.
What I Liked:
THIS BOOK WAS SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ok. So this book is based on Cinderella, but with sci-fi elements. That is why I picked it up. And i'm so glad I did. *smiles* It also had some romance, but it wasn't too bad. Iko is an android with a human girl's personality and is really funny.
What I Didn't Like:
It swore a couple times.
My Rating: 4.8 stars
