Brilliant. Definitely has the Cinderella spin, which wasn't so hidden we had to look for it, but it wasn't so in your face that we were pretty sure we would know how it ended. Plus, having an over arching plot of world domination by the evil Lunars from the moon made the story all that more intriguing. Cinder is trying to keep her sister from dying from the disease that is killing much of the population. In the meantime, Cinder falls in love with Kai, the prince, but she also is discovering secrets about herself from a scientist friend. Fun plot, natural dialogue, and characters to sympathize with. I am really enjoying Marissa Meyer's books. She's becoming a fast favorite of mine.
