He’s so egalitarian and concerned for his people. Just as Cinder wants to know, so do I, why the ID chips in the dead are taken. This solution is effective, and that can hardly be argued with.”

I want to take a hatchet to both of them! Erland to help her out with this issue? I’d also like to know why Kai allows Levana to be so bossy in his palace! Why didn’t he challenge her on that key word “knowingly”? How can she think she can threaten to kill his servants and send her own law enforcement into Kai’s territory? That woman is so incredibly insulting, right along with that Sybil. If Cinder has no rights and “belongs” to Adri, why doesn’t she get Dr. This from the woman whom Cinder believes has never worked a day in her life. Cinder doesn’t even enter the picture except for the times Adri wishes she’d never been burdened by her moneymaker. Mother expects results from the TWO gowns, otherwise what’s the point of spending the money. That Adri is concerned with money first, her daughters are secondary. More coolness is the security built into the palace, which is pretty amazing. Not so handy is that ability to replay those disastrous memories like a video. Tech-wise, it can be handy to be a cyborg when it comes to detecting lie from truth. The technology in Cinder is futuristic even though there’s a feel of it being years in our past. Then there’s the home conflict with Adri, which sends her into Dr.

I believe the series conflict is Cinder’s two issues, one of which is being a second-class citizen simply because she’s a cyborg and the other is the truth she learns about herself. There are so many conflicts built into Cinder…where to start? The prime conflicts within this story are Cinder’s fears of what Kai will think of her and the machinations of the Lunar queen. Meyer also throws in a wicked queen, which made me think of another fairytale: Snow White. Meyer is using the plotline of Cinderella as the basic framework for Cinder with the wicked stepmother and one stepsister, the pumpkin-turned-into-carriage, the prince and the ball, and the “shoe” she loses.

In 2014, Cinder was nominated for the Abraham Lincoln Award in 2012, it was nominated for the Goodreads Choice Award for Best Young Adult Fantasy & Science Fiction. Other books by this author which I have reviewed include 'Glitches', Scarlet, Cress, Winter, Heartlessįirst in the The Lunar Chronicles futuristic steampunk series and revolving around a Cinderella of a girl. Steampunk in Hardcover edition that was published by Feiwel & Friends on Januand has 390 pages. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I received this book for free from the library in exchange for an honest review.
