the premise: Cinder, as you may guess, is a twist on Cinderella. A really cool science-fiction twist with cyborgs and androids! Here is the description from Amazon: Cinder, a gifted mechanic, is a cyborg. She’s a second-class citizen with a mysterious past, reviled by her stepmother and blamed for her stepsister’s illness. But when her life becomes intertwined with the handsome Prince Kai’s, she suddenly finds herself at the center of an intergalactic struggle, and a forbidden attraction. Caught between duty and freedom, loyalty and betrayal, she must uncover secrets about her past in order to protect her world’s future.
why I'm dying to read it: I love the idea of cyborgs. Bladerunner is one of my favourite movies. Also, can we say intergalactic struggle and fobidden attraction? I'm so there.
how long I have to wait: It just came out earlier this month so any day it will be in my hot little hands! I'm first in line!
while you're waiting check out: Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K. Dick . It's the book Bladerunner was based on and it's super interesting and really cool. If you're a science fiction fan, you've probably already read it but did you know it's also been published as a graphic novel? You can put a hold on volume one here.
