Book Review: Cinder by Marissa Meyer

OMG!! I totally loved this book!
This is also the first book in 'THE LUNAR CHRONICLES'  series.
*1. Cinder - Fairytale re-telling of Cinderella.
*2. Scarlet - Fairytale re-telling of  Red Riding Hood.
*3. Cress - Fairytale re-telling of  Rupenzel.
*4. Winter - Fairytale re-telling of Snowwhite.
*5. I do not know yet OOPS!
CINDER. Now this isnt exactly like the cinderella story, but the story structure is quite similar and also similar events and characters too. But the story is STILL very different.
First thing, this book is kind of a futuristic, dystopian, sci-fi, fantasy book.The main character Cinder is a 'cyborg' which means she is half human and half parts machine or metal, yeah! Also she has a memory chip installed in her and other things as well, Basically like a human computer. Four world wars have happened. The book also talks about life on Moon or Luna and the lunar queen Queen Levana.
The book is set up in New Beijing and Cinder is one of the best and advanced mechanic, but because she is a cyborg people look down upon her,which I dont know why! :( So, there's also a prince KAI, who is so cute, I loved him :D, who comes for the repair his android to Cinder, AND thats where the plot starts. 
There's a plagues called 'letumosis' ravishing people, where people die in almost a week or two, and there is no cure to it yet.

Characters - The best parr about the book is that we get to read from the point of view of Cinder as a common person and also the government(prince Kai).
It was amazing to read feom Cinders point of view, because of her being a Cyborg and what she felt and how she was treated. Also there were things which were very emotional because she was a cyborg.
iko is SO cute! I hate what happened to her in the story because she is simply amazing!
There is also Cinders stepmom who initially I thought wasn't that evil but later on WHOA!
Cinder has 2 step-sisters 1 evil but the other 1 was adorable, but she gets letumosis ):
Writing style is excellent. It wasn't an info overload. The writer has buit the environment around us very nicely such that it grips the reader.
Overall, this is a MUST READ even if you do not read sci-fi or fantasy , i am sure you will love it. 
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
