I didn't expect much from this book but I so wrong. I loved it so much that I ordered the second in the series from my library. This is an outstanding version of Cinderella from beginning to end. I loved the characters - each and every one of them beginning with Cinder, a young woman who is so injured in an accident that she is labelled as a cyborg because of her mechanical parts.

Speaking of mechanics, she's a mechanic, too. And, she has a horrible stepmother (guardian) and two sisters, just as in the story of Cinderella. Her prince does indeed fall in love with her but how can she compete with the beauties of the country? If I were to say more I'd give up too much of the story. My best advice is to grab a copy and read it for yourself. It's unique, creative and a darn good tale.
