Shelly | 956 comments Well this was a fun romp in steampunk! This is a retelling of Cinderella, complete with the handsome prince, the two stepsisters and stepmother, with the climax at the ball. Add to that an evil queen who wants to conquer the Earth, a deadly plague, and Cinder losing her foot (not just her shoe) as she tries to flee.
It is a YA book, so there isnt a great deal of depth in the characters. The characters do what you expect them to do as the story progresses just as you expect it to progress. The big reveal in the end was super obvious but that didn't make it less enjoyable.
There are several more books in the Lunar Chronicles, but I doubt I will read them. This one was fun but thats about it.
