Cinder

Author: Marissa Meyer

Once upon a time, there was a cyborg named Cinder. She had an evil step mother and one evil stepsister. She also had a nice stepsister that was her only human friend. Cinder is the best cyborg mechanic in New Beijing. Because of this, Prince Kai comes to her with something that is more important than he is letting on, and he needs it fixed before the annual ball. Then her sister becomes sick with the fatal plague that has been sweeping Earth for a decade and Cinder is blamed. Her stepmother volunteers her for plague research. It's  supposed to be an "honor" but no one has survived it. There is something odd about her though. She has something that others would kill for. I really liked this book. I found it a refreshing change from the normal. I like that she is a girl that doesn't need a guy to come and save her. I would suggest this to people who do like fairy tales but are bored of the overused stories.
