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…

I was really glad that Marissa Meyer wrote this novella because I think that there were a lot of holes in Cinder's background. I really enjoyed reading about where (ish) she came from, and how things were for her starting out. I particularly enjoyed that it was Cinder who put Iko back together. I thought the scene where Garan was taken away was pretty heartbreaking, and the whole short makes you wonder what it would have been like if he had lived.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoyed Cinder.
