Publisher's Summary

Humans and androids crowd the raucous streets of New Beijing. A deadly plague ravages the population. From space, a ruthless lunar people watch, waiting to make their move. No one knows that Earth’s fate hinges on one girl....

Cinder, a gifted mechanic, is a cyborg. She’s a second-class citizen with a mysterious past, reviled by her stepmother and blamed for her stepsister’s illness. But when her life becomes intertwined with the handsome Prince Kai’s, she suddenly finds herself at the center of an intergalactic struggle, and a forbidden attraction. Caught between duty and freedom, loyalty and betrayal, she must uncover secrets about her past in order to protect her world’s future.

A story that really hooks you in!

This is by far the best retelling or interpretation of Cinderella that I have read (listened to). The story is so well written, I couldn’t wait to hear what would happen next. The narrator is amazing, the way she can change her voice makes this one of the best and most engaging audio books I’ve listened to. #Audible1

A Good Fairytale Spin

I really enjoyed the world building of 'Cinder', although sometimes the character decisions are a little bit dumb. Overall, I'm excited for the series and I'll definitely keep listening.

Great start to series

Only loosely based on Cinderella, which is good. you can see somethings coming, but there are enough differences to keep me on my toes. I am looking forward to seeing how the rest of the plots intertwine.

My favourite!

This is one of my all time favorite books, beat out only by another book later in the same series. I've read the series more than twice over already and decided to download the audiobook to listen while working on a project and I'm glad I did! Rebecca Soler narrates the story brilliantly, with different accents and distinct voices for the characters, giving everyone and everything fabulous character and energy. I plan to download the rest of the books promptly and highly recommend them to anyone who enjoys action, adventure, and SiFi with a good balance of fun.

So in love

I read this book years ago and continuously raves about it. Bought on here so I could listen to it at work, and remembered why I was so in love with this novel! The narrator is phenomenal too, and I’m looking forward to listening to this again!

needed more imagery, good overall

I liked it a lot, my one thing is that a lot seemed to happen over this first book. it almost could have been two with a bit more imagery.
