While I recognize that this book and series is for teens, as a senior I really enjoyed it. I've already ordered the next book in the series, Scarlet. I need to add a shelf for fractured fairy tales on my book list because Cinder includes similar events to those in Cinderella but the situations have been twisted, modernized, and then futurized. An example of this is that Cinderella does have an evil stepmother, but rather than sitting in the ashes, Cinder is a mechanic who usually has some grease on her somewhere and has a talent for working on androids. Her wicked stepmother takes all the money she makes though, of course.
