Cinder

by Marissa Meyer
PRMS hardcover 387 pages
genre: YA fantasy futuristic

I LOVED this book! It's a Cinderella story with an unlikely heroine. Post-WW IV, Cinder is living and working in the Eastern Commonwealth's "New Beijing" as a mechanic. Repairing androids and other pieces of software and machinery, the crown prince shows up at her booth one day to hire her to fix his android.

Add in a deadly plague, the evil Lunars who can use their glamour "magic" to manipulate people, and you have more fun going on than the stepmother and stepsisters could ever have provided.

I wish I had time to read book two!
