Ep. 5: Cinder by Marissa Meyer

"She was a cyborg, and she would never go to a ball." 

Cyborgs and androids and Roombas, oh my! What happens when you replace the famous glass slipper with a robotic foot? Cinderella Month continues as Drew and Cassie discuss the first book in The Lunar Chronicles series, Cinder by Marissa Meyer. We talk about the ways in which this retelling takes the tale back to its Chinese roots while also projecting forward into the sci-fi future, the clever dynamics and parallels between this Cinderella and her prince, our favorite nods to the French version of Cinderella, and the many forms the fairy godmother takes!
