Based on an ARC 
 I absolutely adored this book. It's like Meyer got into my head with this retelling. I absolutely loved picking out the details from the original fairy tale. But this isn't what stood out for me. 
 The world building was utterly fabulous. The post-apocalyptic/dystopian feel with a little steampunk mixed in, should appeal to many. I was completely invested into this book from page one. This definitely isn't the fairy tale we all remember. 
 The characters are another standout of the novel. So realistic that I could identify with. They draw you in until you feel for them. I was on the edge of my seat. 
 I really want to know more about the Lunars. I have a feeling we just hit the tip of the iceberg with them. That cliffhanger at the end certainly says so! 
 I'm such a fan of fairy tales. The Lunar Chronicles will introduce others we know and love. I personally can't wait to see how Meyer handles those. Cinder gives the series a great foundation to start on.
