Cinder - tome 1 -extrait gratuit-
by Meyer, Marissa
Cinder is a mechanic in New Beijing who happens to be a cyborg, making her a second-class citizen in a society struggling with a deadly plague and a looming war with the Lunar colony. While she spends her days fixing droids and hiding her true identity, she finds herself tangled in the affairs of Prince Kai. This story breathes new life into the Cinderella myth by trading glass slippers for metal limbs and ballrooms for gritty, futuristic politics. The pacing is snappy and keeps you turning pages, balancing technical sci-fi elements with the vulnerability of a girl just trying to survive. If you enjoy stories about underdogs rising against systemic prejudice or if you have a soft spot for fairy tales reimagined with a sharp, modern, and slightly dangerous edge, this is your next obsession.
