![]() She is cyborg and, like the original Cinderella, Cinder is treated like a servant and made to do everything, but she is an expert mechanic and helps the family out by making money fixing things at the local market. Cinder lives in New Beijing, the capital of the Eastern Commonwealth with her guardian (evil step-mother) and two sisters – one who is kind and one who is awful. This time, even I got sucked into the entire series, although I listened to the very well done audio-book versions. ![]() I had read Cinder and Scarlet before, but for whatever reason didn’t continue on. ![]() My 11 year old started reading Cinder because it is on this year’s middle grade battle of the books list, but she quickly decided that she had to read the entire series. Put it all together and you have a surprisingly satisfying series. Once you’ve got that part understood, add in characters loosely related to well known fairy tale characters. In the Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer, that is the world that we enter. Imagine a futuristic world where there is life on the moon and where cyborg and android life are reality. ![]()
