Stars Above
Lunar Chronicles - Book 6
In the final installment of the Lunar Chronicles, we get 9 different stories. A mix of prequels, sequels and one unique twist on another classic if it was set in this beautiful world (or is it universe?) that you will come to love.
The stories are:
The Keeper: How Michelle Benoit came to help Princess Selene.
Glitches: Prequel to Cinder.
The Queen's Army: How Wolf came to be ... well, Wolf.
Carswell's Guide to being lucky: A short story about Thorne's childhood.
After Sunshine passes by: Prequel to Cress.
The Princess and the Guard: Winter and Jacin's childhood.
The Little Android: A take on "The Little Mermaid" by H.C. Anderson
The Mechanic: Kai and Cinder's first meeting, through Kai's eyes.
Something Old, Something New: Epilogue to Winter. (Grab the kleenex for this one!)
They read quick, and they explain a lot. It makes me want to go back and reread the whole series over again with this new information (well, not new but with the help of these explanations).
Of course, it's really just an excuse to go and reread the series over again. The characters are a group that will stick with you forever; the lessons they teach, the twist on the fairy tales we (in 2016 earth) have grown up with... It's pure magic. You will be wanting more and more.
Meyer's writing is witty and inspiring. She puts you in the middle of her stories as you watch the events unfold before your eyes with her clear and sharp descriptions, and of course the witty dialogue. This, for me, is a world I will be revisiting as often as a potterhead does Hogwarts.
