Publisher's Summary

The first instalment of The Lunar Chronicles - a futuristic reenvisioning of Cinderella in which Cinder is a cyborg mechanic.

A forbidden romance. A deadly plague. Earth's fate hinges on one girl....

Cinder, a gifted mechanic in New Beijing, is also a cyborg. She's reviled by her stepmother and blamed for her stepsister's sudden illness. But when her life becomes entwined with the handsome Prince Kai's, she finds herself at the centre of a violent struggle between the desires of an evil queen - and a dangerous temptation.

Cinder is caught between duty and freedom, loyalty and betrayal. Now she must uncover secrets about her mysterious past in order to protect Earth's future.

This is not the fairy tale you remember. But it's one you won't forget.

Great story!

A lot of originality even though based on the Cinderella story. I just have to say the narrator gave the worst impression of an Australian accent that I have ever heard! Thankfully it was only a couple of lines out of the whole book.

10/10 recommend!

The plot is awesome and the characters are really well done. The voice actor is also great. The best audio book actors are the ones where you forget about their voice and just get absorbed in what they’re saying… no annoying features to this narrators voice at all.

Whoa! Story & Narrator were soooo good!

Wow. Not what I was expecting. Brilliant spin on Cinderella story. Fantasy / Sci-Fi - Read so well. Narrator REALLY got into the characters. About to start book 2.

Awesome series

This is a reread for me, being in a reading slump I decided to read an old favourite. I thought it was just going to be the first book, but I have now started the second book. Looks like I'm reading the whole series again...

love love loved it

I only had one issue and it was the steriotypical Australian accent of the Prime Minister of Australia but that's only because I'm Australian and don't know anyone with an accent like that but seeing as this was only a few sentences in the entire book I can look past it haha regardless an amazing story and performance non the less

Pretty good

I really enjoyed the book... I kinda guessed what was going to happen but it was still enjoyable watching how it unfolded. For a while I had avoided it but then I was like 'suck it up and read/listen to it!' And I did and am happy that I did.
