Stars Above Book Review

After I finished Winter, I was speechless. Though I loved the entire book, I couldn't believe the ending! I'm not going to say anything that would spoil you if you haven't read the Lunar Chronicles (a series that I highly recommend you check out), but if you've read Winter you know what I'm talking about. I was left wanting more from the story and its lovable cast of characters. Later it was announced that Marissa Meyer was coming out with a short story collection from the Lunar Chronicles that included an epilogue to Winter. I'm not lying when I say that I screamed. I was so excited! I finally got to see what happened to all of my favorite characters since the aftermath of Winter. The day Stars Above came out, I braved the pouring rain and trekked to my local bookstore near campus, and picked up the only copy on the shelf. As soon as I got back to my room I dove back into the world of the Lunar Chronicles, reading all eight stories in a day. Once I started I couldn't put it down! It's safe to say that I loved this book and would highly recommend picking it up, especially if you loved the rest of the series.




My favorite stories were:
1.) Something Old, Something New (the epilogue to Winter)
2.) The Mechanic
3.) The Princess and the Guard
4.) Carswell's Guide to begin Lucky
5.) Glitches
6.) The Keeper
7.) After Sunshine Passes
8.) The Little Android (only because I read it on Wattpad the year before).

I love Marissa Meyer's writing style and how she creates her characters. All of the stories offered more information to the already lovable characters. It was nice to learn more about their backgrounds and how they became the way they were in the main four books of the series. Each story gave me "all of the feels," and I'm pretty sure I cried during "Something Old, Something New."

After Stars Above was released, it was announced that Marissa Meyer would be creating a new graphic novel with Iko, the android from the series, as the main character with the other characters, like Cinder, Kai, Thorne, Scarlet, Cress, and Wolfe making appearances. This means that there is still more Lunar Chronicles to come and I couldn't be more excited! I have loved all of her books and can't wait to read more!
