The enchantment continues....The universe of the Lunar Chronicles holds stories—and secrets—that are wondrous, vicious, and romantic. How did Cinder first arrive in New Beijing?

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.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 friendship.
A novella bind up of short stories from this world?
What a delight. I loved all of the novellas. There were 4 from Marissa's Wattpad that were included and 5 new ones. I think my average rating is around 4.75 stars! Absolute must-read if you love The Lunar Chronicles :)
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.
"The room was full of white crepe paper and tulle, unburned candles and glass lanterns, streamers and small silk bags overflowing with sugared almonds.Iko gasped and trailed a finger over an enormous tulle bow. "Is this all for the wedding?" Ah, the wedding. Admit it, nine and three quarters of you bought Stars Above just to see who's getting hitched. I enjoyed it less than I thought it would, but it has nothing to do with the characters chosen. (view spoiler)[Kudos to Meyer for not picking Kai
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
