Glitches by Marissa Meyer

Glitches (Lunar Chronicles, #0.5)

by Marissa Meyer

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. In Glitches, a short prequel story to Cinder, we see the results of that illness play out, and the emotional toll that takes on Cinder. Something that may, or may not, be a glitch…

CINDER! If you follow me on my blog, it probably won't surprise you to know that Cinder (and the Lunar Chronicles series) is a favorite. There was serious flailing happening. When Kelly told me about Glitches--free on Amazon at the time--it was an instant download. No regret there. NONE.

Though this book is set well before the events in Cinder, I think that it's something that best read after Cinder. It simply has more meaning when you're able to understand the origins of Cinder's New Beijing story--something that we learn about in both Cinder and Scarlet, but that is never quite as detailed as the story in Glitches.

If you're a fan of the Lunar Chronicles series, you won't want to miss Glitches. It'll help tide you over until Scarlet. And it's only 19 pages! You really can't go wrong.

Glitches was a free Kindle book I downloaded on December 20th, 2012 for the Why Buy the Cow? reading challenge.
