Cinder

By Marissa Meyer

Rating: 3/5⭐️

As a big fan of fairy tale retellings, especially those with a new take on a classic tale, I had long had my eye on 'The Lunar Chronicles.' However, when actually getting to read the first book of the series, I've found that it simply didn't live up to the hype.

Quick Plot Summary:

In this Cinderella retelling we follow a teenage Lihn Cinder; the best mechanic in New Beijing.

Part of the new take on this tale is that she also happens to be a Cyborg, which in this futuristic society renders her as a second class citizen, not only amongst the general public but within her own family.

Her life starts to take a turn for the unexpected when the heir to the throne; Prince Kai, enters the picture. Cinder now tasked with fixing the Prince's royal android, finds herself tangled in royal politics and schemes.

This leads to the discovery of royal secrets and hidden identities, all while the earth's future is hanging in the balance as a deadly plague continues sweeping the nation and the threat of war looms near.

Thoughts:

This was a book I had been wanting to read since high school but somehow never got around to it. Unfortunately this turned out to be a book I felt I would have enjoyed a lot more as a teen as opposed to now.

The premise itself is very promising; a cyborg Cinderella set in a futuristic city incorporating elements of both sci-fi and fantasy, what's not to like?

The writing was simple and easy to follow which allows the story to be more accessible for any reader. The world building piqued my interest, but even with so much potential it ultimately fell flat.

The pacing on its own was fine, however when paired with the surface level exploration of characters and the world itself, felt like a disservice to the book. And this was something which really annoyed me about the book; the lack of exploration.

How did their world come to be that way? What was the history there that led them to the beliefs and prejudice that they have now? What about the backstory on those from Lunar? Their powers? So much that could've been explored and used to set the foundation for this world but wasn't. With the Eastern commonwealth being a mixture of different people and backgrounds what is the culture like?? The customs etc?? Give me a whole new world to explore!!

Even though I am aware that as the series progresses more will be revealed, there has to be some groundwork for the reader to go off of, especially in a fantasy/scifi setting.

Now as for our main character Cinder, honestly, she was meh at best (sorry not sorry). I did like her relationship with Peony but besides that I felt no emotional connection to the characters. Kai was fine, I guess, and his relationship with Cinder was your typical YA romance; instalove, a little bland, cringe at times but bearable.

Overall the book was still interesting enough for me to want to finish it, but in my opinion is overhyped. It's an enjoyable read but not much of a memorable one.

(So no, I did not end up reading the rest of the series)

Happy 2023, everyone!!! I started off the new year in the middle of drawing fanart, so that checks out. May the new year bring many more late-night fanart drawing sessions!

hopefully I’ll be a little more active and active POST the art that I make (I have a bad habit of just keeping them in my photo app, and that kinda leads to me not being able to show my art style progress haha)

Anyway, be on the lookout for my spam-uploading of my art in the next couple of days!! (And this new one; it’s of Cinder from the Lunar Chronicles!! (Yes, I know, I drew her hair wrong, but I have TRIED and FAILED to get her hair right, so I had to IMPROVISE!!))

so y’all are trying to prove that Cinder’s Asian but you are aware that her mom was just a tan Lunar and had no connection to the Commonwealth right

Cinder: What’s the easiest way to steal a man’s wallet?

Thorne: Knife to his throat?

Scarlet: Gun to his back?

Jacin: Poison in his cup?

Kai: You’re all horrible.

How old is Thorne? Does it ever actually say? I finished my reread of tlc last week so I've been thinking on it (trying to form original thoughts and opinions), and this is one thing that came to mind. I've read tlc maybe five/six times, and I always assumed he was around 20/21, but that makes him dating cress (who is 16) a little weird, same for his dynamic with cinder.

I know in scarlet it says when he was born, but I never did the math to figure out how old he actually was. I also assumed he was older than Kai, because Kai got jealous of Thorne in scarlet and "immediately didn't like him" because he was good looking and with cinder (which is hilarious) but if he was much younger or older than cinder or Kai I don't think it would be a problem

#thorne also went through army training in the american Republic #and assuming that the minimum age is still 17 #he would be at least that old #20/21 makes a lot of sense to me personally #carswell thorne #lihn cinder #cress marissa meyer #the lunar chronicles

You have never lived unless you've physically placed yourself inside a bathroom, sat on the floor and read the few remaining chapters of a book series only to end up sobbing salty tears and kissing the cover like its a lover
