I like this quote especially because it the conclusion and resolution of the book. This quote is everything the book was leading up to. Although it's also the start of the next book. It also gives the name of the main character that this whole book was about which was much of a closure to the book. ]]> 2017-11-01 20:30:16 UTC https://padlet.com/see09629/96j2hg0e2nqw/wish/202707547 see09629 https://padlet.com/see09629/96j2hg0e2nqw/wish/203688755 This image has to relate with the main character, Cinder. She is a robot with both human and robot parts. One of those parts is her robotic leg. None the less, the robotic leg is the missing part that the prince needs to give to Cinder. Just like the glass heel that Cinderella left behind, Cinder left her leg. That is why the robotic leg is a great symbol because the whole book was based upon that. ]]> 2017-11-05 21:42:33 UTC https://padlet.com/see09629/96j2hg0e2nqw/wish/203688755 see09629 https://padlet.com/see09629/96j2hg0e2nqw/wish/203689202 The plot of this book was very interesting. I could say simplistic however the author did an amazing job changing it into ways you'd never expect. It differed and was similar from Cinderella, which in my opinion I enjoyed. Marissa Meyer made the plot seem so as if that you were ready to expect something that you already saw coming, she changed it so you completely misjudged it. This was the main reason I loved the book so much because Meyer always made the simple things into major changes.]]> 2017-11-05 21:47:14 UTC https://padlet.com/see09629/96j2hg0e2nqw/wish/203689202 see09629 https://padlet.com/see09629/96j2hg0e2nqw/wish/203690530 The setting in this book is not what I had in mind. Although it made me love the book even more. The book was set in New Beijing. Different than what you'd expect after watching all the Cinderella movies. The setting just made the idea of Cinderella into a whole different perspective. Which I really enjoyed reading throughout this book because I realized what was truly happening without all the wood houses or magical carriages.]]> 2017-11-05 22:01:22 UTC https://padlet.com/see09629/96j2hg0e2nqw/wish/203690530 see09629 https://padlet.com/see09629/96j2hg0e2nqw/wish/203944280 Gr 7 – 10 — This re-imagined fairy tale, the first of a quartet, is neither imaginative nor compelling enough to keep readers involved in the detailed plot. In New Beijing of the Eastern Commonwealth, citizens are plagued by a deadly disease called lutumosis and are in constant danger of being obliterated by a moon-dwelling population called the lunars. Cinder  is a human with surgically implanted robot parts who lives with her stepmother, two stepsisters, and an android named Iko. She slaves away as a mechanic, working hard to fix robots, hovercrafts, and netscreens. One day a hooded stranger walks into her booth at the marketplace with a broken android. To her shock, it is Prince Kai. The teen is flustered by the handsome young man who is soon to be emperor but manages to hide her mechanical arm and foot, which would reveal that she is a lowly cyborg, and agrees to help him. Meanwhile her stepsisters, Pearl and Peony, are readying themselves for the ball, intended to help Prince Kai find a princess. After Peony becomes afflicted with lutumosis and is taken to quarantine, Cinder's  stepmother volunteers her hated stepdaughter for research in a desperate attempt to save her. With the help of a strange yet kindly doctor, Cinder  learns a shocking secret about her past that could help save Prince Kai's empire, if only she can figure out what it means. The author's skilled, concise writing style cannot save this lackluster tale that has way  too obvious secrets. Die-hard retold fairy-tale lovers who are also fans of future worlds such as that in Scott Westerfeld's "Uglies" series (S & S) might enjoy this one, but otherwise it is an additional purchase.—Tara Kehoe, Plainsboro Public Library, NJ --Tara Kehoe (Reviewed January 1 , 2012) (School Library Journal, vol 57, issue 13, p122)
