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…

“I have a glitch, too. Sometimes I forget that I’m not human. I don’t think that happens to most androids.”


This novella is a prequel to Cinder and tells the story of Cinder moving in with the Linhs.
I so wish that I had read this before reading Cinder because it adds so much to the foundation of that book.
