I don’t know why I waited so long to read this book. I loved it! It’s YA book candy! Just sad I’m on hold for the next one, though I guess I shouldn’t be surprised since it’s good, and good books last. The Lunar Chronicles (Cinder is the first book) are high recommended by me!
I love how Meyer merges the European and Chinese versions of Cinderella with a Sci Fi twist that makes this book all its own. You feel like you know where the story is going because of the old versions of Cinderella, but you’re never quite sure if they will, or if the characters will break out of the moulds.
I had already read / listened to Stars Above, a collection of short stories about the characters in The Lunar Chronicles, so it was like filling in the tantalizing gaps.
