Why I want to read this:
The idea of androids is so cool, not to mention unheard of! I love the idea of the protagonist being a cyborg and falling in love with a human. Although the romance isn't new to YA, the story is. I love it when authors write about NEW things, not recycling old plot line in masked form. I feel that I will love Cinder and is one of the main reasons why I am looking forward to the New Year!
