SO I AM LATE TO THIS BOOK. BUT ANYWAYS IM ALWAYS LATE. SORRY ? 
 I love fairy tales and this is a fairy tale retelling so guess what... PLUS ONE STAR ONLY BC OF THAT FACT. 
 Cinder is all I wanted to read in a retelling, not completely identical plot but similar enough. 
 Cinder is set in New Beijing, in the Eastern Commonwealth. Basically Earth got their shit together but now Luna (The Moon duh) doesn't care they (or at least their Queen) are like the witches in Macbeth, their only objective is to make earth miserable. 
 Levana is the Queen of Luna and also a total evil bitch that wants to have control over Earth because hello fellas why not? She murdered her sister's baby or at least that's what we know so far, so se could get the throne. She has a very strong glamour which permits her to control everyone in Luna, or almost everyone. The glamour is kinda of a power that the majority of people in Luna have, with glamour you can basically change the way that other perceive you and you can also convince people of doing stuff or just simply make them do stuff, pretty cool but creepy. 
 The Eastern Commonwealth has another enemy, the plague. Kai's dad, the emperor is sick and poor baby Kai doesn't know what he is going to do with his life,except he does, hehe. [image error] 
 Cinder is the best mechanic in all New Beijing and she has never fagirled about the prince. Until he goes to her for help. 
 What I love about this book is how, Cinder is not whiny like she knows who she is and even though she notices how unfair are people she doesn't really cries about it. 
 I hated Pearl and Adri, such witches dont even make me start. 
 also the orange car... A PUMPKIN GENIUS 
 Im extremely excited about this series. I hope it gets to be a well done movie, it totally deserves it
