Cinder

madi_orenda shared a tip "Omg this book is amazing! It’s one of my favorites because I was alert the entire time while reading it. I still have to read the rest of the books lol, but so far I like this series."

maia_wolinetz shared a tip "I LOVE THIS BOOOOOK!!!!!!!! Its kinda fantasy but there are also hints of sci-fi and good romance. I could shriek about this book for hours."

your__serendipity_ shared a tip "This book kept me at the edge of my seat! It was an amazing twist to the Cinderella story and the series just gets better and better! #cinder"

annabel_ shared a tip "I read the first book of the series when I was younger and didn’t really get into it. Should I reread it now and see if I’ll like it?? Cause I like sci-fi books, and the idea of the story but it just didn’t stick."

gaby_p shared a tip "I was holding back on this one. While in school, my school library had two copies of Cinder and I remember the time where my friend and sister were simultaneously reading it. I remember their shared conversations on how much they enjoyed it and their conversations with me over how much I should read it for they repeatedly told me that it’s my type of book. (I was always looking for new books to read) I am stubborn though, and I didn’t really like having read the same book as someone just because I kept my thoughts on them private. It isn’t the same exposing myself and my thoughts on such adored books to the media as it is to people (you know what I mean). Also, I was in a bit of a competition with my friend over books and I especially didn’t feel comfortable sharing with her about the books I’ve read/been reading. Any who, I decided to pick it up. I started it yesterday and basically finished it then but for the very end which I immersed myself into this morning. I know I say, or rather type, this on almost everything I recommend but.. I 10/10 recommend!"

koolkid__wannaby_._. shared a tip "YES I haven't finished it yet but Its an adaptation of cinderella except she's way cooler and is better than the original cinderella in my opinion this is a part of a series and it's adaptations of other disney characters but they're all linked"

jordyn_williams_5332 shared a tip "This book was ok if you like this stuff, but I didn’t really care for it. I think it’s boring, but hear me out. I’m not a huge Sci-Fi person, and this is literally mostly Sci-Fi. My favorite character is dead, and it’s an ok book in general. I didn’t really like this book, and I’m reading Scarlet, the second book. It’s alright, but I liked it on this app because if you like books like this, you’ll love this one."

serena_4586 shared a tip "Love this series! This book itself used to be my favorite for like 2 years. I loved the ending yet hated it too haha. Amazing story"

ryan_mann_2193 shared a tip "I was surprised I liked this series. It is geared toward pre-teen and teen girls and that is evident here and there. I liked the very different twist on a classic with only subtle nods to the original."

amy_huntsman shared a tip "Reminiscent of Wicked with a complete relook at the childhood stories. People are more than just one story...so are our characters."

marie_3813 shared a tip "Great book; a twist on a classic story. If you like fairytale or sci-fi this is the book for you. It has more books in the series; I also recommend those."

jenna_babb shared a tip "I just finished Any Way The Wind Blows and I loved how the romance in that developed. But I’ve also been thinking about We Are Okay and My Grandmother Asked Me To TellYou She’s Sorry because they were amazing and really sucker punched me in the heart."

rose_bud_6261 shared a tip "Oh my gosh!! This book was amazing. It was super well written and the descriptions were stunning! I loved the futuristic dystopian society that the book takes place in, and the Cinderella plot, but with a twist (may twists). I finished this book in 3 days, which for me, is not a lot. I highly recommend this series. :)"

evie_09 shared a tip "An interesting take on a beloved fairytale with just enough for the incredible twist on science fiction and romance #science_fiction #fairy_tales_and_folklore"

tashiwrites shared a tip "Absolutely! It is incredibly good. The characters are awesome and the world is super interesting. It's definitely my favourite fairy tale retelling, and if you read all of the books, in the series it's cool to see how she incorporates other fairy tales in"

gingi_coming shared a tip "Was a great book loved the story line. Although the ending was a little confusing. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a good book."

kate_young_9412 shared a tip "I loved that one of the main characters is someone who could be considered amputee which, shows how capable people with “disabilities” are."

jenna_b847 shared a tip "I LOVE this series. I haven’t read it in a few years and it still is by far one of my favorite reads. The romance, adventure and futuristic settings are all incredibly intriguing. These books are essentially the grown up and futuristic version of the fairy tales we all loved as children. If your worried about reading it because of the “fairytales”, don’t. It’s very loosely based off of them. If you like adventure, romance, and a little bit of gore I would recommend these books to you."

trishla_shah shared a tip "Definitely a cool retelling of the original fairytale! I did find the twists to be a tad expected as I read through it but overall a fun read. I am highly interested in reading the rest of the series!"

arianna_schaefer shared a tip "I think it's a wonderful series. I just finished the last book a couple days ago. The first book is really good, but it really hits it's stride in book 2. I was very satisfied with the ending :)"

mikatcy shared a tip "Loved the whole series! I think just the overall concept and the atmosphere that was described was my favourite, but I don't want to spoil too much! What part was your favourite if you read it?"

summer_ballard shared a tip "A YA retelling of Cinderella but with a science fiction/tech twist. It’s set in a dystopian Asia for those who enjoy Hunger games, Divergent, etc. very much a safe choice if you like already like the big name YAs like those above."

blythe_m._shippey shared a tip "LOVE THIS BOOK. LOVE THIS SERIES. LOVE THE CHARACTERS. LOVE THE STORY. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars. 10/10 My favorite series probably. Super under appreciated. Just trust me on this one… READ IT!"

kendra_gardine shared a tip "Who would have thought that a Sci-fi retelling of Cinderella, where Cinderella is a cyborg and a mechanic is what I needed in my life. This book is one of my favorite retellings and I can not recommend it enough."

lolalovesart shared a tip "Sci-Fi romance and a retelling of Cinderella! I loved this concept, cyborgs and more 🦾💝 The Lunar Chronicles series in general is so unique and include beautiful books 📖 Recommended for really anyone :) #scifi #lunarchronicles"

liv_riggle shared a tip "I cannot reccomend this book enough. It is one of the best books I have ever read. It beautifully merges fairy tale with sci-fi and is great even for people who don't like sci-fi. The characters are funny, relatable, and feel real."

camden_rafdal shared a tip "I’ve read the whole series but this book I’ve read maybe 28 times. Maybe more. I cry EVERY TIME I read it! It’s an interesting adaptation to the Cinderella story. Very intriguing. Each book is broken into 4 parts with quotes from the original fairytale on the first page of each part. I guarantee you will read this book and want more so if you plan on reading cinder definitely pack some tissues for the sad bits but also bring Scarlet(book 2 in the series). An intriguing and amazing story cover to cover. 18800 out of 5 stars!!!!"

berrybluebears shared a tip "this is a very interesting story because it takes some of your favourite childhood princess amd stories and twist the whole story. its a great series"

jamkiller shared a tip "I actually only read the first one! My local library never seemed to have the next one in the series in when I would check, so I never got around to reading of the others. I really should go back and re-read this one and finally getting around to the rest of the series. Cause I really enjoyed this first one."

laurel_craig shared a tip "An amazing twist on the classic Cinderella! Set in a dystopian world with a little mix of steam punk. Your going to love it! #romance #fantasy #science_fiction"

guinevere_ann_galle shared a tip "The first book, actually every book, in this series is amazing. I love the world building, the very awesome twists in the common fairytale, the character development...it's all amazing. Sometimes I find it hard to like the characters, plot, world, and themes of a book all at once, but this series balances everything so well."

boonkibonkers shared a tip "Just finished reading last week, absolutely loved this book. My friend was reading the last book in the series, and had recommended it to me, and I was very picky with books, thankfully not anymore. I held off on reading it for a while for some reason, but then a couple weeks ago i started reading it and i regret holding off on it for so long! 10/10, i loved this book. I’m currently reading Scarlet, the second book in the Lunar Chronicles. #science_fiction #lunarchronicles"

kate_brickley shared a tip "A cyberpunk twist on a classic tale of Cinderella that will leave your gear whirling at every turn and leave you yearning for more! 💙"

hannah_maison shared a tip "I have personally only read this book, but I would like to read the others! I can’t pick one favorite part. I think the whole book is amazing!"

rkippy shared a tip "This has to be the best fractured fairrytale ever written. Teenage drama, worlds in peril, and aliens all spun into one book based off of Cinderella! Cyborgs, political intrigue, and superpowers - the recipe for a legend."

corrin_allgood shared a tip "I think its one of the best books I've ever read before, the story really sucked me in from the beginning and proceeded to through outstanding twists into a story I thought would be predictable"

hawa_tunkara_1989 shared a tip "It's not hard to fall in love with all of the characters. I also think it is clever how she plays with the tales of Disney Princesses, with a modern twist"

kellie_b_2399 shared a tip "You think it’s coming to be another “cinderella” story but it takes all sorts of turns. I liked it because I would try and guess what was going to happen, but I would be wrong. It was not predictable."

emily_eleanor shared a tip "This was the first book i read of the Lunar Chronicles and i enjoyed it so much! Honestly, the character work was my favorite part."

nerdy_mom shared a tip "What a fun series this is. Set in the far future with cyborgs and people living on the moon. Its a fun new take on Cinderella, red riding hood, snow white, and rapunzel. Another great series that I can read over and over"

victoria_duranvalero shared a tip "As the first book in the series, Cinder is pretty decent. The plot can feel slow at times, but it is definitely worth it; it only gets better from here!"

haniya_siddiqui shared a tip "This series will always hold a special place in my heart. Honestly believe they were what made me fall in love with reading. My best friend and i were in the third grade when we discovered them and after one look at the description we took out the books. We read them in a messed up order and didn’t understand a thing at first, but we knew we loved the characters and the world. Now i’ve just finished re reading the series for the fourth or fifth time and o can honestly say they are some of the be"

emily_brown_4145 shared a tip "Great book. Combines classic fairytale with strong female lead. Also adds in dystopian and science fiction elements. You can’t loose!!"

destiny_skidmore_7174 shared a tip "Probably when she's seeing the doctor and talking to him about the missing lunar princess. It felt like a really ground breaking moment, but so did the ending!"

ashley_hunt_2406 shared a tip "Fairly good if you love sci-fi and romance. It followed the familiar story of Cinderella with just enough Divination to keep it interesting. There were a few scenes that felt information heavy, and some of the political aspects came across too heavy handed but all in all it was enjoyable. The only real complaint I have is that it doesn't have a real end."

ellie_ann_cowan shared a tip "This book was amazing. I did not expect it to be so briefly, yet significantly alike the old Cinderella fairy tale. I finished this book sometime between 3 days. I just wish I could read this for the first time over and over again. #romance #drama #inspire"

elizabeth_belovsky shared a tip "This book series is the best retelling ever! I’m lucky enough to have gone to a book signing of the author. She is such a cool person in real life too 👍"

mia_daponte shared a tip "Definitely one of my favorite YA series! The concept is brilliant and the fairy tales you thought you knew are entwined in a way you could never predict."

katie_cocchiola shared a tip "It's been a while since I read it but yes, it is a really good series! I just liked the character development and dystopian aspect of it. This series really got me into reading and introduced me to so many other YA books."

sariah_fox shared a tip "I love this series so much. Each book has it’s own flair. The only thing that kind of got me was the fact that they all ended up in relationships in the end. It was cute, but unrealistic."

jaexmyg shared a tip "it was such an amazing book And series!! i read the whole series in less than a month and it was trut worth it! perfect mix of fantasy , sci fi and an emotional rollercoaster! totally recommend"

thatgothwriterchick shared a tip "This book is, in a nutshell, Cyborg Cinderella in space. Well, technically not in space, but with space-y elements. I really liked it! It was a compelling story, fun to read, and I liked the characters. It never left me on the edge of my seat or anything, and I saw the big twist that Cinder is Princess Selene coming a mile away, but I did enjoy it a lot!"

captain_jellyfish shared a tip "This is my favorite book (and series) EVER! I got it from a family member for my birthday, and couldn't put it down. Would 100% recommend it for anyone to read!"

emmy_3000 shared a tip "I'm not reading any right now, but I will soon! I just ordered The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood and it should be here this week. I'm excited to read it!"

christy_smith_9218 shared a tip "I love how the writer uses fairytales. The way she puts details from the original dark tales that only a true fairytale lover would know made me gobble up every book of this series. I read anything this writer puts out."

ariana_baez_arenas shared a tip "I LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH. I read it in fifth grade and last year I started rereading it and I LOVE THIS SERIES WITH ALL OF MY HEART! Go read it!"

anika_sharma_9241 shared a tip "I think so. I really liked the series myself. The beginning of cinder is a little bit slow, but once you get through those parts it is really good. :)"

kiwi_rainess shared a tip "I liked that the main character was unique and evolves around princess stories and that they eventually band up together. #girlpower I especially love that cinder also finds love."

caroline_guiard shared a tip "It was such a good play from the original Cinderella and it wasn’t one of those books I could so easily predict. One of my favorite books, totally recommend"

tashina_williams shared a tip "A fantastic twist on the classic fairytale. Cinder has the echos of the origin story while still having a unique story all its own. I'm excited to read the second book in the series!"

lynn_retterer shared a tip "I loved this book… and the whole series!!!! I picked it up and put it back so many times before reading… but once I stated, I couldn’t stop!!!"

rebecca_grim_4059 shared a tip "This is a part of a series that is well written listen to them all for the whole story she also wrote a one off book called “Heartless” I think. It’s about the red queen from Alice in wonderland also excellent read"
