Stars Above: A Lunar Chronicles Collection by Marissa Meyer

Stars Above: A Lunar Chronicles Collection (Lunar Chronicles)

by Marissa Meyer

A collection of stories set in the world of the Lunar Chronicles continues the #1 New York Times- and USA Today-Bestselling series by Marissa Meyer!

An interesting mash up of fairy tales and science fiction . . . a cross between Cinderella, Terminator, and Star Wars. --Entertainment Weekly

Prince Charming among the cyborgs. --The Wall Street Journal

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 nine stories--five 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.

I won't go into detail for every one of the stories, instead, I'll keep it short.
If you are a huge fan of The Lunar Chronicles, you will enjoy Stars Above. The stories are rather cute but definitely not a must-read.
So, if you found the original books okay but were not completely blown away, I'd suggest you skip Stars Above. Chances are, you'll be bored by the stories. Honestly, as nice as the little glimpses are, most of them are simply too short to offer much depth and thus didn't really have any impact on me.
Don't get me wrong, I don't regret picking up Stars Above, but I could have continued living without reading it. The thing I liked most about the book is the cover, so yeah, it really wasn't that impressive.
