I’m lovin’ the fun series The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa
Meyer. These books combine a magical setting with a touch of romance and a
strong female protagonist, humorously navigating a number difficult situations
and prejudices.
In Cinder (Bk1) there is a palace of the future, a prince, and a ball to go to … and there is Cinder; a talented mechanic, despised by her step family and,
by chance, contracted to the palace to repair the prince’s personal android.
Marissa Meyer
has built an enchanting world in the city of ‘New Beijing’, planet Earth, where
humans and cyborgs dwell together & and a watching enemy planet, Lunar,
secretly prepares to wage war.
Now into book three, The Lunar Chronicles is an inspired series of
fairy-tale retellings (very) loosely incorporating the stories of Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood and Rapunzel.
Love those gorgeous covers too. A highly recommended light & entertaining read. A fourth book is due out next year.
