4 stars!

Cinder, by Marissa Meyer, is the first book in the Lunar Chronicles. The unique take on fairy tales is fun and refreshing.  Cinder is a twist of of 'Cinderella'.  She is part human, part cyborg.  I never really thought I would be reading a book about a cyborg.  I almost don't even want to tell you this book is about a cyborg in fear it might turn you away!  But the story line is fabulous, and there is such a sweet romance between Cinder and the prince!  Lovely lovely story!

4 Stars!

Scarlet, by Marissa Meyer, is the second book in Lunar Chronicles and is just as EXCITING as Cinder!  Scarlet is a twist of 'Little Red Riding Hood'.  Again, super exciting with BIG BAD wolves as the nemesis.  Easy, light read.  No need for tears in these books! Can't wait for the next one!!!
