(4 1/2 out of 5 stars)
Loved it! The only reason I didn't give it 5 out of 5 stars is because it's the first book in a series and some parts of the book were exceedingly drawn out to explain the back story. I was also frustrated when I read this book and realized the second installment would be a long wait (Feb. 5th).
At first this book appears to be a revised Cinderella story; however it is so much more. With a strong heroine who not only is treated like an animal by her step family, but is also revered as a monstrosity by society because she is a cyborg. This book depicts a future society, not unlike our own, which is seeded with prejudices and oppression of individual thought. The most thought provoking question this book addresses is that of, "Are you strong enough to be yourself when no one else wants you to be?"
