Cinder also makes a grand entrance and arrives at the ball in a fixed-up old car instead of a pumpkin. Instead of losing a glass slipper, Cinder loses her new Cyborg foot. Cinderella works as a maid for her step mother, while Cinder works as a mechanic for her adoptive mother.
As for the Fairy God-mother, she is replaced by Iko, Cinder’s android and helpful friend. Just for fun, I wanted to make a short list of the similarities/differences between Cinderella and Cinder.Of course, both books have Princes: Cinderella has her Prince Charming and Cinder has Prince Kai. The dialogue between these two characters feels strenuous at times, but overall I believe they make a nice and believable couple.
When he invites her to be his personal guest at a grand ball, he still doesn’t know that she’s a cyborg since Cinder is hesitant to reveal herself. Prince Kai is intrigued by this unique girl. Cinder feels attracted to him but remains distant.
As he enlists her help to fix his android, they engage in an odd relationship. It's interesting that Cinder meets Prince Kai right at the beginning of the book. Cinder is learning who she is and what she can do, and I think this transformation will be monumental in the books to come. Her name literally means ashes, but I think the author is trying to make us see past the literal sense and witness her eventual rise from the ashes. Filth.” I really like this quote where someone is describing Cinder’s name. All she truly wants is to be independent and be seen as a normal girl, despite all her physical flaws. I believe many young adults can associate with the all the restrictions and rules her adoptive mother places on Cinder. She works as a mechanic in the town square instead of doing what other teenage girls might enjoy. Not only is she a cyborg, but she’s also forced to be the breadwinner of her adoptive mother and sisters. I really admire the author's way of making her main character so different from other teenagers of this futuristic world. Even her central nervous system has been modified. As a cyborg, she is made up of many inhuman parts. Loosely based on the Cinderella fairy tale, the novel introduces us to Cinder as she's looking for a foot to replace the one that she's outgrown. She was able to add science fiction and magical elements to a classical fairy tale that many of us grew up with. This is a wonderful debut YA novel by Marissa Meyer that captured me right from the start.
