Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Marissa Meyer rocks the fractured fairy tale genre with a sci-fi twist on Cinderella.” Seattle Times
“[A] futuristic twist on Cinderella…sending the story into an entirely new, utterly thrilling dimension…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.” Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“The book will appeal to fans of twisted fairy tales, techno-thrillers, romance novels, and well-plotted suspense…in a story as old as time.” VOYA
“This series opener and debut offers a high coolness factor by rewriting Cinderella as a kickass mechanic in a plague-ridden future… Readers will return for the next installment in this sharp, futuristic ‘Cinderella’ tale.” Kirkus Reviews
“Rebecca Soler's sweet but firm voice conducts the listener through a fresh, quirky take on an old trope: reimagined fairytales…Overall, this is good fun, and provides encouragement for the next adventure. Locus
Narrator Rebecca Soler captures the determination and independence that make Cinder a compelling character…the story will keep listeners engaged and awaiting the subsequent titles. School Library Journal

Soler's narrations, both confident and well paced, flow effortlessly. She masters major characters' voices…Soler is also very effective at quick transitions between accents in dialogue-heavy scenes.
