Cinder is a cyborg in a future world that is celebrating 126 years of peace since World War IV. She doesn't get a fairy god mother, but she does have a nasty guardian, who she refuses to call a step-mother, and two step sisters. One nice, one not so much.
Cyborgs are humans who have lost limbs and are partly computerized. They are considered second-class citizens. Cinder is a gifted mechanic and is the only breadwinner in the family, even though she is only a teenager.
The only problem with this book is that it is part of a series and I didn't realize what I was getting into when I started it. The story did NOT end with Cinder getting the prince and living happily ever after. The second book in the series is a twist on Little Red Riding Hood. Sounds like fun so I will stick with Cinder and put the next book on my to-be-read list. I believe the author plans 4 books in the series, with 3 out so far and the final book to be published in 2015.
