Either this book is really good, or there's something wrong with me, because I couldn't put it down and even started the next book in the series when I finished at 1 am. Oh, okay, it's possible this book is really good and there's something wrong with me. The important part is that the book is good.

Cinder has an mean step-mother/legal guardian, two step sisters getting ready for a ball she probably won't get to go to, more chores than reasonable, and the prince's eye. Sound familiar?

Cinder also has computer chips replacing parts of her brain, an artificial foot and an artificial leg, and is the best tech repair person in post-world war IV New Beijing. Probably less familiar territory.

If, like me, you've read quite a few fairy tale retellings before, you're probably asking yourself if we need yet another twist on the Cinderella story. If, like me, you have good taste in books, your answer after starting this will be "yes, yes we do."
