ReviewsPraise for the Lunar Chronicles : #1 New York Times -Bestselling Series USA Today Bestseller Publishers Weekly Bestseller "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 "Terrific." -- LosAngeles Times "Marissa Meyer rocks the fractured fairytalegenre." -- The Seattle Times "Epic awesome." -- Bustle "A binge-reading treat." --MTV "Takes the classic to a whole new level." --NPR "Just when the insanely popular Lunar Chronicles looked finished, this piecemeal, but still quite weighty, book will pull readers right back in."-- Booklist on Stars Above "With the monarchy abolished on Luna and peace between Luna and Earth on its way, this collection ends with a happily ever after for everyone."-- School Library Journal on Stars Above, "This collection ends with a happily ever after for everyone. . . . [it] will not disappoint fans and will make a worthy addition to libraries where the "Lunar Chronicles" are popular." - School Library Journal "This variety of short pieces enriches the series, using several different approaches to add to Meyer's fantasy world and its fascinating characters. "The Mechanic," for example, toys with perspective by describing Cinder and Kai's first meeting from his point of view, while several prequels delve into character backstories and provide more detail to incidents alluded to in Meyer's other works. Many of the stories explore childhood experiences to develop characterization, and in a few instances, the tales consider some of the questions of selfhood and social responsibility that Meyer's full-length novels delve into more deeply.""Sure to delight fans... While most of these short stories cater toward audiences already familiar with the Lunar Chronicles , those who have enjoyed Meyer's sci-fi fairy tale retellings will relish the chance to dip their toes more deeply into this rich world." - VOYA , starred review, "Just when the insanely popular Lunar Chronicles looked finished, this piecemeal, but still quite weighty, book will pull readers right back in."-- Booklist "With the monarchy abolished on Luna and peace between Luna and Earth on its way, this collection ends with a happily ever after for everyone."-- School Library Journal
