But then again, they are not because they do things other girls will do and most importantly, what's wrong being like other girls? That pet peeve put aside, I struggled through these pages and after them, I was completely hooked. YA narrators are never like other girls and are special little snowflakes. We're introduced to Cinder and for me, the whole "she's not like other girls" vibe was just laid on too thickly. Now the first 50 pages of CInder had me in belief that fantasy isn't for me and that I wouldn't enjoy reading this book after all. Mechanics aside, the real problem is is whether a cyborg can help a human being, and a prince at that, save the world. When the prince asks her to fix something for him, she's suddenly thrown into a major medical problem which is basically the future version of the plague. Cinder is, like her fairytale namesake, stuck with a stepmother that hates her and one evil stepsister, but surprisingly also one nice one. Next time, please let me know when I'm blatantly ignoring a book series that I could be falling in love with - it's what the comment section of this blog is all about after all!Ĭinder is the story of the future world where a cyborg mechanic named Cinder meets the prince of her country in a most crucial historical time. And that's why I didn't read them until now. For YEARS I have seen the Lunar Chronicles books pass and while everyone seemed to love them, no one really told me why.
