This sequel to the first book in the Lunar Chronicles, Cinder, didn’t disappoint. In this book, you get introduced to new character, Scarlet Benoit, a normal girl who lived on a farm in France. You will find out more about Queen Levana’s plans, and the past of Princess Selene. The story starts out with introducing Scarlet, but then also updates you about Cinder & Captain Thorne’s situation throughout the book, alternating between the stories (which end up getting connected later on).

This was such an amazing read; it may be my new favorite! It was such a creative idea for a book! Cinder is the first book in “the Lunar Chronicles” series, and it is so, so good. The main character is Cinder, a cyborg living in a dystopian world where many countries are merged, there are cyborgs, people living on the moon who have mind powers, and a plague called letumosis that’s killing thousands of people on Earth. She is a mechanic who lives with her stepmother & stepsisters. (Just like Cinderella).
