Twitter summary: A futuristic twist on Cinderella with a teenaged cyborg who learns her true identity and must save Earth from the evil Queen from Luna.
The good: I love fairy tales and could live happily in a fantasy world. So when I heard about this book (well aware that I am late to the party), I had to read it! Meyer writes a futuristic Cinderella tale with a dashing young Emperor, a faithful Android, a mysterious doctor, and a step family that is not surprising yet surprising (oh, my heart goes to Peony) at the same time. My overly imaginative mind was immediately skeptical of a number of characters but I’m glad I was proven wrong.
The bad: I kept waiting and waiting to be swept away… Also, what happened to Iko?! I need to know, please!
Recommendation: Although the book did not capture my attention as much as I hoped, I am curious enough about the rest of The Lunar Chronicles.
