I'm sure someone pointed this out before but...

Every time Cinder and Kai dance together, it makes Kai keep his promise, because Cinder wears the necklace with Peony's chip. So you can say, in a way, Kai and Peony are dancing together too.

Thinking of post Winter/Stars Above Adri with her riches that Cinder graciously granted her through allowing her to keep Garan's patent and how she'd undoubtedly make a lot of money off of it but it would ultimately do her and Pearl absolutely no good because Emperor Kaito is a petty bitch who hated Adri for Cinder without even knowing what she had done just cuz Cinder disliked her so the minute he finds out what Adri has actually done, he's beside himself with the desire to murder her with his own hands or throw her in prison.

Except Kai can't really do that being the diplomat he has to be and all so instead he Very Pointedly does not invite her to the Annual Peace Ball (despite Linh Garan's invention being... yknow... the reason they have peace). Naturally people have questions because there is a song specifically announced to be played in honor of a Linh Peony and Kai mentions Linh Garan by speech but Linh Adri and the living daughter Linh Pearl are noticeably absent.

Someone asks Kai and all he does is pleasantly respond, "We will not be sharing their company." It's a very abrupt sentence. No "unfortunately", no "pleasure of their company", not even a "tonight" to imply this is a one time deal. So naturally people have even more questions when this continues to happen. At every single ball Emperor Kaito ever throws.

Its well known that Queen Selene of Luna is very tight lipped about her life before the revolution and refuses to answer questions about it which drives Kai up the wall cuz Adri takes every opportunity to capitalize on having "raised the Queen of Luna" but Cinder is too busy to actually bother with Adri anymore.

That's when Iko steps in. Cinder may be content to stay quiet and forget Adri exists but Iko most certainly will not let that vile woman get away with everything. She openly declares in great, as the personal assistant and longtime trusted friend of Queen Selene, that Adri's stories are bogus and even adds some incriminating evidence from her data bank as proof. Iko figures she'll deal with the fallout from Cinder later except Cinder really doesn't care if Adri is being slandered all across the galactic media.

But things take an even more dramatic twist when Princess Winter Hayle-Blackburn uploads a video addressing the revealed information. She's sobbing loudly at the injustice her dear cousin suffered and how horrible it is that Cousin Selene "escaped one Levana only to go and be thrust into the arms of another". The Lunars are in an uproar. Their beloved Princess is crying and their beloved Queen had been living a life of misery even on Earth! Winter denies any maliciousness on her part with an innocent smile. She was simply so overrought with emotions at learning of how cruelly her beloved cousin was treated that she had to express them to the world.

Emperor Kaito, being such a paragon of truth and champion of honesty, decides to stir the pot further by declaring his own observations of having first met Queen Selene and admits that while he never got to see her treatment first hand, he did see the toll of that treatment on the Lunar Queen. He also opens up the very much open secret at this point: as emperor he cannot in good conscience invite the perpetrator of Queen Selene's miseries to any happy occasions thrown by the crown as they directly oppose his views on how to show gratitude for the brave young woman who saved them all. Earth is an uproar too at this point having grown fond of Cinder and especially the Eastern Commonwealth who take pride in the fact that Queen Selene grew up in their country.

Adri is besides herself. Her business keeps running, grudgingly as ever customers keep buying Linh Garan's invention. But she is a social pariah and she and Pearl are never again seen as respectable in proper society for the abuse she heaped on Cinder. Meanwhile, Peony and Linh Garan (alongside Michelle Benoit and Logan Tanner) are honored for their sacrifice by the world for helping Cinder become the revolutionary to usurp Levana.

Cinder, personally, is not entirely on board with her life being so exposed but then again it already was pretty well known to begin with. She can't help but love Kai and Iko and Winter (and the Rampion crew cuz i know they'd join in yet idk how yet) for caring about her so much they refuse to let Adri have any ounce of respect despite the parting kindness Cinder offered to her. They let her keep her hands and heart clean while defending her and she'd be lying if she said she didn't kick back with a popcorn bucket now and then after some far too stressful meetings to read some netposts by angry Lunars and Earthens about how much they hate Adri.

You know sometimes I just sit and wonder if Cinder knows what happened to Peony’s ashes. Or if Scarlet and Wolf would ever one day find Peony’s ID chip on the farm.

I’ve heard people talking about a necklace Kai gave cinder with peony’s ID chip in it which I’m assuming happens in wires and nerve cause I’ve never read them. But I thought cinder crushed peony’s I’d chip in scarlets farm cause they were tracking her with it? Or did I just make that up?

So Cinder stores the ID chip in her calf compartment, Adri clues in the EC military who then track Cinder with it. When discovered, Cinder takes it out, kisses it and throws it in the field of Scarlet's farm. It was never actually crushed. Then the chip is recovered as evidence by the EC military (never shown in a scene but logical, since they were tracking it).

Flash forward to Wires & Nerve volume 2, Kai remembers the ID chip and has it put inside a locket as a gift to Cinder. I won't share images since you haven't read the books, which I absolutely recommend you do if possible! The art is choppy and the story a little off in places, but I still love them and love the character interactions.

time to break y'all's hearts ya poor unfortunate souls

Dear Cinder,

I finally met Prince Kai's parents!!! They're so nice and I told them all about your crush on him and they love you. I also saw Dad, he misses Mom and Pearl very much but he saw Queen Levana and her ambassador down there and he's so proud of you! I ALSO met Mademoiselle Michelle and she told me all about how you got your cyborg parts. This Dr Erland guy came along too and also told me a story about you and your friends. I can't believe you're Princess Selene- can I have your autograph? Hahahah. I miss you a lot, Cinder. And Iko too. Can you tell her I said hi? Don't worry about me. I'm okay, and I'm up here, waiting for you. I love you, Cinder. I'm glad you didn't give up.

With lots of love, Your baby sister, L. Peony <3

Cinder Review

I was in a Barnes and Noble recently and happened upon the revamped Lunar Chronicles covers. I’ve read this series a couple times through, and I own the ebook for Cinder. However, the newest covers are so well done that I couldn’t resist buying a physical copy of the first book. 

Cinder is a fairytale retelling in a futuristic world. It follows Linh Cinder, a teenage cyborg who is the the best mechanic in New Beijing, but you wouldn’t know it based on the way her stepmother treats her. Cinder finds herself drawn into royal politics and intrigue when tasked with fixing one of the royal androids, and spends much of the book grappling with questions of identity, especially as her cyborg status is a point of contention even in this futuristic society.

I flew through this book. Cinder is one of the books that I hold in high esteem in my memory, but which I don’t reread as often as I do some of my other favorites. I’m glad that I chose to do now because I’d forgotten just how fun this book is. This book is an easy but captivating read, perfect for readers aged teen and up, and its status as a Young Adult book should not deter older readers from picking it up!  

Cinder by Marissa Meyer (The Lunar Chronicles #1): ⭐ 10/10 ⭐

Spoilers Below!

I first read this book years ago, so my review now is based mainly on my experience of rereading it and knowing everything that is set to happen not only in this book but also in the rest of the Lunar Chronicles. That being said, I believe that the ability to reread a book and be just as engaged as you were the first time is the sign of a strongly written book. I’m not just here for the plot, of which I know most of the ins and outs. The characters that Meyer has created and shaped are a crucial factor keeping me from putting this book down.

Cinder is a charming protagonist, even if she wouldn’t agree with that description. She spends most of the book agonizing over her cyborg identity, and later the knowledge that she is Lunar. Her run-ins with Kai are constantly overshadowed by the fact that she is cyborg and he doesn’t know– there are many scenes in which she is aware of just how quickly he could discover her secret. And then later, Dr. Erland drops the bombshell of the century on her when he reveals that she is Lunar (which is nothing compared to the Princess Selene secret he’ll leave her with at the very end of the book), and Cinder is left grasping the fact that she is now an outcast in two ways. Not only is she held at arms length from the rest of society for her metal parts, but she is also a Lunar, a group hated by most on Earth– in fact, it’s illegal for her to be on Earth. The first of many laws she will break in this series, and she didn’t even have a choice in the matter!

The side characters are no less interesting than our protagonist, which further strengthens this book. Iko is the charming android whose faulty personality chip has provided Cinder with one of her only friends and, after Peony’s illness and death, her only confidante. At times, Iko even acts more like a teenage girl than Cinder does. Peony is another interesting side character as she breaks the original Cinderella myth by being kind to Cinder and one of her other close ties (Pearl, on the other hand, fully acts out the traditional role of evil stepsister). Peony’s illness does an exceptional job driving the plot forward, especially as it keeps Cinder to both Kai and Dr. Erland. Kai too is a fun character, and we see the struggle that he has in taking such a high-stakes role of responsibility at such a young age. His interactions with Cinder contrast sharply with his struggles with the Lunars, as the former plays out as a love story he may have been able to pursue had he not been shoved so quickly into the role of Emperor. It is also highly ironic that Kai likes Cinder because she feels normal, when in reality Cinder is anything but normal. 

Another interesting part of Peony’s involvement in the plot is the way she is mourned for more of the book than she is an active character. Even while she is alive, the second she catches letumosis her remaining family members are resigned to her death– in fact, this is a big factor driving Adri and Cinder further apart. Following Cinder’s perspective we know she finds out that she is Lunar and may be able to help find a cure by helping Dr. Erland. Adri, on the other hand, believes that Cinder was sent away from the research labs and then ignored most of the mourning she and Pearl were doing for Peony. I know that Adri always saw the worst in Cinder anyway, and I don’t mean for this to be an argument as to why Adri’s actions were reasonable– they weren’t. However, this leads into one of the areas of interest with not only Cinder but with the rest of the series– at times, we see hints of what the rest of the world sees Cinder & co doing. Adri believes Cinder isn’t mourning Peony, and while Cinder is in jail at the end of the book we get some more snippets of what the media is making up to explain her role in everything. I wish that we got to see more of this outsider view, especially considering the enormous secret of Princess Selene that drives many of Cinder’s actions in the following books.
