My cousin got winter as a Christmas present, and i remember them telling me, read this series now! it ended up taking me a month before i picked up cinder, but I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN. Meyer's far-future Earth is richly imagined, full of prejudice and intrigue, characters easy to get invested in, and hints of what might await in future books. Though foreshadowing early on makes it fairly clear where the story is headed, it unfolds with the magic of a fairy tale and the breakneck excitement of dystopian fiction. ![]() Several events abruptly turn Cinder's world upside down: a chance meeting with the handsome Prince Kai has her heart racing a plague pandemic threatens her beloved sister Peony Cinder learns she is immune to the plague and the evil Lunar Queen Levana arrives on Earth, scheming to marry Kai. Cinder is a talented teenage mechanic and cyborg part human, part robot who has been living in New Beijing with a demanding adoptive mother and two stepsisters, ever since her late stepfather took Cinder in after a hovercraft accident. ![]() But debut author Meyer's brilliance is in sending the story into an entirely new, utterly thrilling dimension. I guess that's a lot of things that appeal to me about her, but she's been a really fun character to write! (The two leading men in Scarlet, Wolf and Captain Thorne, aren't half bad either.)įirst in the Lunar Chronicles series, this futuristic twist on Cinderella retains just enough of the original that readers will enjoy spotting the subtle similarities. She was raised by her grandmother, an ex-military pilot who now owns a small farm in southern France, who not only taught Scarlet how to fly a spaceship and shoot a gun, but also to have a healthy respect and appreciation for nature. Scarlet is awesome-she's very independent, a bit temperamental, and has an outspokenness that tends to get her in trouble sometimes. What is appealing to you most about this character as you work on the book? The next book in the Lunar Chronicles is called Scarlet, and is about Little Red Riding Hood. We'd just have enough time to enjoy some fresh coconut before we were rescued. If you were stranded on a desert island, which character from Cinder would you want with you?Ĭinder, definitely! She has an internet connection in her brain, complete with the ability to send and receive comms (which are similar to e-mails). On those days I'll write in bed or take my laptop out for coffee or lunch. ![]() I have a home office that I've decorated with vintage fairy tale treasures that I've collected (my favorite is a Cinderella cookie jar from the forties) and NaNoWriMo posters, but sometimes writing there starts to feel too much like work. I think we'd all like to believe we'd have that same inner strength if we ever needed it. She's a romantic and a daydreamer and maybe a little on the naïve side-things that could be said about me too-although she does find courage when it's needed most. I'm much more like Cress, who makes a brief cameo in Cinder and then takes a more starring role in the third book. I wish I could say that I'm clever and mechanically-minded like Cinder, but no-I can't fix anything. Which of your characters is most like you? Marissa Meyer on Cinder, writing, and leading men Caught between duty and freedom, loyalty and betrayal, she must uncover secrets about her past in order to protect her world's future.
