Diana and Carrie discuss the classic Cinderella fairytale –with a futuristic, robotic, cyberpunk twist!– in the Marissa Meyer novel Cinder, first book in the Lunar Chronicles series.
*Correction @ ~5:18: Marissa married her fiancé a few months before the release of Cinder, not after. Oops! But it still stands true that he was an awesome support throughout her touring 🙂
