Stars Above by Marissa Meyer
Published in January 2016. | My rating: ★★★★☆
Stars Above is an addition to The Lunar Chronicles, in
form of a bunch of novellas (6 to be precise). You’ll get to read about
Cinder’s transformation to cyborg, why Winter is the way she is, and how Wolf
became one of Levana’s super-soldiers, among other things.
It was a great addition to the series, and honestly, I
can’t get enough of this world, so my review might not be very objective. The
whole retelling of fairy tales + sci-fi setting is still and will always be
everything I could ever wish for. I also love Meyer’s writing, and she pulled
of short-stories just as well as she writes books.
Naturally, I couldn’t love every story, and while they
were great, I found The Queen's Army and The Little Android a little dull, (although I loved to read Meyer's retelling of The Little Mermaid) and those are
what brought Stars Above down a notch.
So, to get to the point. I definitely recommend Stars
Above to anyone who loved The Lunar Chronicles. It’s emotional and I cried,
which is the point of reading, isn't it?
