Linh Cinder makes a living in New Beijing as a mechanic. More accurately, she makes money for her stepmother, a cruel and selfish woman who hates Cinder for being a cyborg. Cinder may not know how she came to be this way, part mechanical and only part human, but she knows there’s nothing she can do to change who she is. She’s mostly resigned herself to a life of being treated as a second class citizen when Prince Kai approaches her market stall and asks her to fix his android. What Cinder doesn’t know is that there’s more to Prince Kai and his android than meet the eye, and that by accepting this job, she’s going to become entangled in a high stakes game of disease, deceit, and diplomacy. In a world ravaged by a deadly plague and threatened by a malicious race of lunar people, who would ever think that one cyborg could be so important to the fate of the Earth? Cinder certainly didn’t, but now she’s about to find out. Cinder was one of my favorite books read last year, and it will likely continue to be a favorite in the years to come. This is a book that I’ve been raving about for approximately half a year before its publication because I just couldn’t wait for others to see what I was so excited about. It boils down to this: Cinder is one spectacularly written, incredibly imaginative and romantic, futuristic fairytale retelling. Ordinarily, Cinderella as a cyborg is a concept that sounds a little odd to me, but debut author Meyer makes it work wonderfully. Her worldbuilding feels so effortless and integrated that everything from androids to an evolved race of people living on the moon to an unusually deadly plague feels completely natural within the story. This is a novel that readers will find easy to become invested in, because of the vivid characters, the futuristic setting, and the irresistibility of such a good story. I am so thrilled that Cinder marks the first installment in a new quartet, The Lunar Chronicles, and I desperately hope that Cinder makes a reappearance in later books because as much as I’d love to see where Meyer will take us next, I really don’t want Cinder’s story to be over. Cinder will be enjoyed by all readers, especially those who also liked the A Great and Terrible Beauty trilogy by Libba Bray, the Poison Study trilogy by Maria V. Snyder, and The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins. reposted from http://thebookmuncher.blogspot.com

This and Clan of the Cave Bear were the first sexy books I think I ever read. (Well, also Flowers in the Attic, but fuck that book, gah.) I actually wonder how I got my hands on this, at twelve or thirteen, because I had the kind of open-minded hippie parents who really wanted to participate in my life, and especially when it came to things like discipline, they prided themselves on not making knee-jerk proclamations. For instance, when they found me listening to the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Blood Sugar Sex Magik," which of course has a "parental advisory" warning, instead of taking it away, they listened to it straight through, reading along with the little lyric booklet (god, remember CDs?). They ultimately decided that everything was fine except for the last song, the one about the sexy cop lady, so they had me make a cassette recording of everything else and then confiscated the CD. (I later found it at the bottom of my mom's jewelry box and snatched it back so I could listen to "Sir Psycho Sexy" over and over—not that I ever did, because it turns out that's like the worst song on the album, but still I was extremely proud of myself.) So anyway I have no idea who gave me this book, or how I read it without them knowing. In any case. Forever taught me so many useful things, like how you can't go back to holding hands after you do it, and that some boy name their peens. I should really re-read this, actually, to see what other things it implanted in my impressionable little tween subconscious.
