Hey, guys! Long time, no see!This time we have a special guest review from teen reader Bridget Magness.
TITLE: Cinder
AUTHOR: Marissa Meyer
REVIEWED BY: Bridget Magness
BRIEF SUMMARY: In a futuristic Beijing where androids walk the streets and people live on the moon, Cinder is a gifted mechanic and cyborg. Hated by her stepmother and blamed for her stepsister having a common deadly plague, she's treated like a slave. But then she meets Prince Kai and her whole world gets turned upside down. She suddenly finds herself at the center of a struggle between Earth and the Lunar people, and uncovers secrets about her past.
WHY I PICKED IT UP: I read the inside cover and thought it seemed like a good blend of science fiction and fantasy, two of my favorite genres.
WHY I FINISHED IT: Although the book is a futuristic spin on Cinderella, it's very original, and the characters are lovable and interesting. The plot is also mysterious and fast-paced.
WHO I'D GIVE IT TO: Someone who enjoys retold fairy tales and a fun, entertaining story.
Thank for contributing, Bridget! Sounds like a great book.
