Cinder by Marissa Meyer is the first book from the Lunar Chronicles. The story happens in a futuristic world, with cyborgs and other technologically advanced things. Cinder is a cyborg which lives with her stepmom and her two step sisters. They don't treat Cinder as family, but more like as a servant. Cinder is the best mechanic in Commonwealth, the place where they live. Commonwealth has an emperor and a prince, but sadly. the emperor gets ill. Kai, the heir of the throne will have a ball where he will choose his bride. He invites Cinder as his personal guest, but she isn't sure if she wants to attend. More people get ill like the emperor, with a disease called Letumosis. Thousands of people die, and one of Cinder's stepsisters (the only one that treats her well) gets ill. Cinder can't take how bad they treat her, so she has a plan to run away, which is interrupted by her stepmother, who volunteers her for the cyborg draft(where they experiment different cures of the deadly disease on cyborgs). They make a very important discovery about Cinder, and she uncovers lots of mysteries from her past. Levana, the queen of Luna, comes to earth so she can secure marriage with prince Kai and govern earth just as she governs the moon, brainwashing and torturing her citizens.
As the story unfolds, other really important things happen, but I don't want to spoil anything. This Cinderella-like tale is amazing, and the rest of the series is too. There is a preponderance of romance, war, mystery, and of course lots, and lots of surprises. In my opinion, this is one of the best series I have ever read, and I really believe that everyone will love it too.
