Review:
"Even in the future, every story begins with once upon a time." 

Cinder is a suprise to me, i didn't think i was going to like it but boy was i wrong. Cinder is a new and refressing adoptation of Cinderella and takes it to a whole new level. In this world there is an illness well known as the plague. They don't know were its coming from, but one think is sure... you wouldn't survive it. Cinder is given to science by her step-mother because she blames Cinder for het daughters illness. In het Kingdom, they test on Cyborgs to find a cure and this time Cinder is the new test subject. 

The story goes from different places in quick pace. Cinder meets the Prince in her workshop were he asked her to fix his robot for him, what Cinder doens't know is that this robot has information about the Lunar Kingdom. After she is been given to science, she makes a deal with the professor the help him but in return she is free to go were she wants. This is so she can work on the robot for the Prince and help find a cure for her sister. There are alot of twist and turns, some i saw coming from the very start.. others were more shocking. But it kept me invested in the book, i wanted to read and know more!

Sometimes i felt like it was a bit predictable, but still the story was great. The characters were also a little predictable, but what do you expect from a Cinderella adoptation? It still was refressing to get some different storylines and twists and turns that you didn't see coming. As for the second books im very set on reading the rest of the story to know al about this world and the Lunars.
