In a futuristic world where cyborgs exist, cars can fly (called hovers), and people live on the moon (called Lunars), Linh Cinder resides. She is the main character of the enchanting book called Cinder, which was written by Marissa Meyer. Cinder is a cyborg who works as a mechanic in New Beijing, but she is still under the guardianship of her detached, adopted mother who forces Cinder to give all the money she earns to her. The adopted mother does this because she is too lackadaisical to actually get up and do anything for herself that involves work. Cinder lives with her guardian and adopted sisters, and it is quite uncomfortable for Cinder because two out of the three people are cruel to her. Her sympathetic sister, Peony, is her only real human friend in the world, apart from her android, Iko. This, however, all changes in a series of tragic events that alters her life forever. …show more content…
