I liked this quite a bit! There were a few stories that I felt were just filler & I didn't really care for, but it was fun seeing some familiar faces throughout it. IKO4EVER.

I desperately need a sequel to this prequel Every one of them was just fabulous - seriously! While there aren't any major spoilers, you won't appreciate these short stories without finishing the series. Nearly every story is based on a key event mentioned in one of our 8 main character's backgrounds.The keeper - This is the earliest prequel of the series - we follow Scarlet's Grandmother as she travels to Lunar as a young army piolet and meets a strange doctor. This doctor avoids using glamours

And they lived happily ever after.Except the girl-who-read-too-much, aka Katerina, since she cried her eyes out, sniffled, hiccupped and then cried some more. “The first time, he had wondered why she liked books so much, and if it had anything to do with why he liked spaceships. Because they could take you somewhere far, far away.” But mind that they were happy tears (mostly). The tears you shed when your babies that went through pain and difficulties find love, happiness, joy and fri...

2 1/2 stars. I was disappointed with this collection. It works as a way of giving us fangirls and fanboys something to read while waiting for Heartless, but the stories don't really add anything.Aside from one story - The Little Android - it's almost a stretch to call these "short stories". They are all little snippets, filling in the blanks behind the main story of The Lunar Chronicles and never really taking us to new places. Of course, this book is meant for the fans and it reunites us with o...

This was really fun! I loved going into the past and of course the future for some of my favourite characters. The short story format was really fun, there were some I enjoyed more than others but as an average they were 4/5 stars!

Both have great covers, but maybe not every new YA book needs to have a crown on it?I found Stars Above lacking, to be honest. The one story I was looking forward to (The Little Android) was so lame. I mean, it was nothing like The Little Mermaid at all, and there was no Ursula character to keep it interesting. The rest of the stories don't really flesh things out or add much backstory that couldn't have been inferred while reading the other books. While it's great to have them all in one h

Perfect epilogue is perfect. I am SO happy Marissa wrote this for her fans!

Update: I accidentally deleted my original review, so I had to upload it again.This review contains *spoilers*.I had to take a few hours off from my life after I finished this book so I could recover enough to review it.When I read Winter back in November I had prepared myself to say goodbye to the wonderful characters in this book. The closer I got to that dreadful last page the longer I tried to make it last- I realized that I was not ready to say goodbye and was immensely grateful when I fou...

AWWWWWW I CAN'T EVEN.

A 'between the numbers' book

This book made me tremendously happy. Especially the last novella - perfection. CAN WE JUST NOT SAY GOODBYE TO THESE CHARACTERS EVER EVER EVER?? *sobs*

I AM CRY SO CRY I LOVE THESE CHARACTERS.I could easily give this a 5 stars based on the last novella alone but the majority were 3 or 4 stars so I gotta give the overall collection a 4 star, BUT THAT LAST NOVELLA OH MY HEART.My favorites of this collection were The Princess and The Guard, The Little Android, and Something Old, Something New (OBVIOUSLY)It was really fun visiting these characters again and also getting some back story on all of them! Overall fantastic read.

Long overdue but finally finished with the help of the audiobook! My favorites were Carswell's Guide To Being Lucky, After Sunshine Passes By, The Mechanic, and of course, Something Old, Something New!BEFORE READING"Stars Above was originally going to include two original stories, and four that had been published elsewhere — but Meyer went above (get it?) and beyond, writing five brand-new stories, including a prequel and epilogue to Winter." WE ARE SO BLESSED

“I will accept any amount of monsters my mind wants to give me, but I will not become a monster myself.”I guess and I dread that this is the last we will hear from the Lunar Chronicles. But I still can't keep myself from hoping for more. Apparantly there's going to be a series of graphic novels, though, featuring Iko as the main character.It was so amazing returning to this science fiction/fantasy universe, to all my beloved characters, to their bantering and giggling and being actual cinnamon r...

Let the record show that I would happily read a grocery list if it was for the Cress-and-Thorne household...but, like, everything else about this was reallyreally soso boring.I enjoyed:- the Thorne story- parts of the last storyAnd...that's it.Again this was just so boring. And I'm really not sure why every Marissa Meyer romance is either utterly swoon-worthy, completely meh, or supersuper creepy.But I'm not a huge fan of it.Bottom line: So concludes my Lunar Chronicles reread!!! Overall mildly

Rereading because a certain someone is making me feel all the feels! 6 Stars!! ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 《《"And they all lived happily ever after"》》 The Epilogue.★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "... I think she was a little concerned that i never made very many friends. And now look. I have so many friends, i need a cargo ship to keep you all in." <-- AWWW!It was everything and more!! It was the closure i didn't know i needed! I still find myself randomly hugging this book, or just reading the bits of it when I'm bored. I...

Perfectly selected and strung together short story collection that will have any Lunar Chronicles fan emotionally drained upon finishing. Beautifully written, every single story had me euphoric from happiness and sense of adventure and wonder. Stars above, this was epic. (For people starting the series, I highly recommend reading this collection after finishing Winter.)

It's over D: and it's very appropriate that this is my 300th book read on Goodreads!The Keeper- 3/5 starsGlitches- 4/5 starsThe Queen's Army- 3.5/5 starsCarswell's Guide to Being Lucky- 4/5 stars (Thorne <3)After Sunshine Passes By- 3/5 stars (This story felt included just because there had to be a story about Cress? It seemed short and pointless and full of information we already knew. Still heartbreaking though)The Princess and the Guard- 3.5/5 starsThe Little Android- 4/5 stars (Probably my f...
