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? How did the brooding soldier Wolf transform from young man to killer? When did Princess Winter and the palace guard Jacin realize their destinies?
With six stories - two of which have never before been published - and an exclusive never-before-seen excerpt from Marissa Meyer's novel, Heartless, about the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland, Stars Above is essential for fans of the bestselling and beloved Lunar Chronicles.

SpoilerThe Keeper: Scarlett and her grandmother's story from when Scarlett ran away and came to live with her, and when Cinder was given to Michelle for safekeeping.
Glitches: Cinder's POV from the time she woke and came to live with her stepmother, Adri. This was really good because it showed Garan, a character who was always mentioned in the main story but never had any lines.
The Queen's Army: This is the backstory for how Wolf became the Alpha of the pack, and the one that hurt the most because Ze'ev is the one character that went through colossal shit over and over again! Leave him alone already!
Carswell's Guide to Being Lucky: The backstory with Kate that was briefly mentioned in Cress. Nothing noteworthy here.
After Sunshine Passes By: A story of how Cress came to be in the satellite. Nothing new here. This story just reminded me how much I wanted Sybil to be goneeee!
The Princess and the Guard: The claustrophobic story of why Winter stopped using her gift, of how she got the scars and how Jacin became a palace guard. Every single character in these stories was so badly trapped in situations they couldn't get out of. I loved this one!
The Little Android: Why in the name of stars was this so sad and tragic? The end was a real punch in the face.
The Mechanic: Kai's POV for his first meeting with Cinder. It was fine and nothing overly exciting.
Something Old, Something New: So cute! <3 Nice wedding planning :D I loved this with all my heart. Everyone is so cute together!
4/5 stars
There's this thing about Novellas that I hate. You start to get really into them and then suddenly they are over. Nonetheless, Stars Above, in true Marissa Meyer fashion, was a phenomenally fun read.
The Princess and the Guard was by far my favorite of the nine novellas, and I just wish I had more of Winter's life growing up and a deeper inside about the ethics of the Lunar powers.
Also can we talk about the happy ending overload in Something Old, Something New. I don't think I can get enough of all these characters living out their happily ever afters.
My ratings are:
The Keeper:5/5 stars
Glitches:4.5/5 stars
The Queen's Army:3.5/5 stars
Carswell's Guide to Being Lucky:4/5 stars
After Sunshine Passes By:3.75/5 stars
The Princess and the Guard:10/5 stars
The Little Android:2/5 stars
The Mechanic:4/5 stars
Something Old, Something New:5/5 stars
