About this listen
The first instalment of The Lunar Chronicles - a futuristic reenvisioning of Cinderella in which Cinder is a cyborg mechanic.
A forbidden romance. A deadly plague. Earth's fate hinges on one girl....
Cinder, a gifted mechanic in New Beijing, is also a cyborg. She's reviled by her stepmother and blamed for her stepsister's sudden illness. But when her life becomes entwined with the handsome Prince Kai's, she finds herself at the centre of a violent struggle between the desires of an evil queen - and a dangerous temptation.
Cinder is caught between duty and freedom, loyalty and betrayal. Now she must uncover secrets about her mysterious past in order to protect Earth's future.
This is not the fairy tale you remember. But it's one you won't forget.

It was a good read
It was obviously predictable on the touch points of the story, as led by the title. It was also really good. It has fun, memorable characters, that were relatable and filled out, a well crafted world and interesting setting. It has cringy teenager moments, and some plot points I feel were added just for the sake of the fairy tale, and it was something I looked forward to listening to each time I got the chance.
I think this author is really good, and I look forward to more.

Great Retelling of Classic Fairy-tales
This review is for the whole Lunar Chronicles series.
A very inventive retelling of the classic fairy-tales. I love how Marissa Meyer was able to twist these classics and weave them all together. It exceeded my expectations. Rebecca Soler also does a great job narrating these stories, she has distinct voices for each of the characters and is very easy to listen to. I will absolutely listen to these books again. Great Series!!

Fantastic remake of the fairy tale classic
I loved this book. I'm really into YA fantasy/sci-fi at the moment and this did not disappoint for some light, fun escape. The ending is very abrupt, as seems to be common in certain series I've read lately, and I wish some of these authors would spend a bit more time bringing it to a close. Cliffhangers are meant for TV ratings, not books.
Rebecca Soler did a fantastic reading - great voices and consistency throughout.

My favourite series
I really love this series. I own all the books and find it really great to listen to when I can't sleep. I'm a 22 year old female and really enjoy the story. I think Rebecca Soler does a great job of the voices and characters. I feel like the story can be a little predictable as it is meant for a slightly younger audience, but there are still great unexpected moments and great nods to the fairy tales they're based off of. If you haven't finished the series I highly recommend you do as well as her stand alone book "Heartless."

A one day read
Probably a good idea to put aside some time, I am glad that I had a day off when I started. It was very hard to put down

Should have been a stand alone book
I remember starting this book YEAAARS but I barely remember what it was about or what happened at the end so I decided to re read. Pretty solid book. I didn't know it was a series when I read this book. I finished this book pretty unsatisfied in the end, I was waiting for something more to happen but overall it's a good book, I don't think I'll read the rest of the series though. I really don't feel like this book should have been a series. It would have been good as a stand alone book or maybe broken into 2 parts but FOUR books...? No thanks.
