I liked the concept better than the actual text here, but the concept was so good I don’t even mind that much! In a Cinderella retelling, Cinder is a cyborg in a very steampunk inspired kingdom. Human cyborgs are second-class citizens in this world, which added an interesting dimension. In addition to the Cinderella/Prince love story, there was a subplot where Cinder is trying to help find a cure for a plague, on top of Cinder discovering the secrets of her past, on top of international political drama. Kind of too much going on!
