This book is really imaginative, and the best part about it? It makes me feel! There are characters I dislike, characters I adore, and most noticeably- a character who's circumstance made me sad and her departure almost brought tears to my eyes.
Its wonderful to see all the things this cyborg can do, the difficulties she faces, and her perseverance in spite of what life has given her. I am really looking forward to reading the rest of this book.
My only frustration- I ordered the hard back copy for my personal collection and now I have to wait on shipping to read more.
--While it is not necessary to read the prequel story "Glitches" (easily found for free on the web), I did find it useful to have explanations about certain things heading into the story.

I found this to be generally well written and compelling. There were some interesting twists on the story and I found the character both sympathetic and human.

Excellent story!
I very much enjoyed reading Cinder. It wasn't my usual kind of read, and not what I expected, but when someone recommended it, it sounded interesting and it definitely was!
