"Fairy tale meets Sci-Fi is a good way to describe the book Cinder. Cinder is based off of the character Cinderella, and the book carries bits of the fairy tale throughout it’s telling. She’s a true heroine that I’ve never seen before. She just wants to live her life. She doesn’t want to be judged or mistreated anymore. I think that’s something a lot of people can understand.
With most fairy tales, there is a prince, and as we all know Cinderella meets Prince Charming. Cinder meets her prince, Prince Kai, when he seeks her out. There are obviously some changes to the original Cinderella tale, and it is infused in an original story created by Marissa Meyer. She does a really good job combining the two stories without it becoming nonsense." Read the entire review here: https://thenerdybookwormsite.wordpress.com/2017/04/29/cinder-by-marissa-meyer/

I didn't know what I would think about this book when I picked it up. I had found out about it through people recommending it online through my tumblr when I asked for a new fairy tale book to read. I was not disappointed.
This was interesting because it was not really happy. It hearkened back to the Grimm brother's fairy tales in that respect. There were some Russian fairy tale influences I could feel throughout here when I was reading.
I loved how dark the characters were. They felt very fleshed out and very well written. Great job.
The plot was really nice and, again, well written. Not too many slow parts, though there were a few. I still enjoyed it.
I love the fact that it's a standalone so I can have it all wrapped up. I think I may look up her other books.

A modern fairy tale with a nod to some of the classics. Very fun for those who know the genre already.
