Following the Cinder Blog Tour
Cinder by marissameyer
Cinder, a gifted mechanic, is a cyborg. She’s a second-class citizen with a mysterious past, reviled by her stepmother and blamed for her stepsister’s illness. Caught between duty and freedom, loyalty and betrayal, Cinder must uncover secrets about her past in order to protect her world’s future. Join the adventure with Cinder, the first installment of The Lunar Chronicles! [Summary as taken from The Lunar Chronicles FaceBook Fan Page.]
Released (in the US at least) last January 3, 2012.
Being half a world away, it's a shame I can't drop by her live book tour. In cases like these though, you've got to thank the Internet for bridging the gap at least somewhat. So, as a show of my support, I've been religiously following her blog tour! [This entry shall be edited as I go through each of the blogs on the tour. The dates and summaries provided are courtesy of Marissa Meyer herself! Follow her on LJ, Facebook (Marissa Meyer, Author), or Twitter ( @marissa_meyer).]
