Win Cinder by Marissa Meyer

Posted on January 16, 2012 by Parajunkee

giveaway Win Cinder by Marissa MeyerToday Parajunkee’s View is offering up a copy of ‘Cinder‘ by  Marissa Meyer. ‘Cinder’ is the first hardcover young adult book that I’ve bought in probably over a year. I usually wait for the paperback release or buy the eBook. Spending the extra money was definitely worth it, this is something I’m excited to have on my shelf for a long time. Now you have the opportunity to win your own! Still not convinced? Read my review.

Cinder is a scifi retelling of the Cinderella story. What fairy-tale or myth would you like to see retold in the science fiction genre?

Humans and androids crowd the raucous streets of New Beijing. A deadly plague ravages the population. From space, a ruthless lunar people watch, waiting to make their move. No one knows that Earth’s fate hinges on one girl. . . .

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. But when her life becomes intertwined with the handsome Prince Kai’s, she suddenly finds herself at the center of an intergalactic struggle, and a forbidden attraction. Caught between duty and freedom, loyalty and betrayal, she must uncover secrets about her past in order to protect her world’s future.

    Well, I would have to say that after watching last night’s episode of Once Upon A Time and their integration of Hansel and Gretel into their story line, I think it would be really interesting to see a YA version of the story.

    It’s not really a fairy tale, but I was always fond of the Robin Hood Disney movie. That would be totally rad if it were steampunkified. Sticking with real fairy tales though? Hm…that’s tough because Cinderella would be on that list but that’s almost like cheating since I’m entering to win a steamy/sci-fi Cinderella retelling. The Little Mermaid would probably be next. Not sure how that would work out though…

    Also, William!

    Who is William anyway?

    Wow, I’m not sure which I would like to see retold in the future. Red Riding Hood might be interesting. My all time favorite was Twelve Dancing Princesses, so that might be another idea. Sleeping Beauty might lend itself well to a future, post-apocalyptic setting as well.

I’m actually really excited about all the ones Marissa is doing (Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, and Snow White), but I’d love to see one for Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin (does Aladdin count?), and The Little Mermaid.

    I would love to see the fairy tale of rapunzel told as a book in the sci-fi genre. :)

    I think Sleeping Beauty would do well as a sci-fi. Aurora could go from a medieval world to a tech future.
