 Welcome to a modern day futuristic Cinderella tale. I loved the original spin on a classic tale. This book is an evenly paced book that kept me interested through out. Meyer loosely follows the Cinderella story line with a little bit of Snow White thrown in for good measure. 
 Cinder(our cyborg Cinderella) is half machine(36.28%)/half human mechanic and on Earth she is a social outcast. She struggles between accepting her cyborg self and hiding that part of her away from people (especially the Prince) she doesn't want to know. A fatal disease has infected Earth and Cinder might carry the cure or might be the cause. Besides trying to dodge the Prince's persistent dance invitation, she has a sick step-sister(the nice one), a pain-in-the-ass stepmother, and a Lunar Queen wanting to kill her. Ahhhh...poor Cinder, where are those darn mice to sing and make it all better?
