4.33 stars. LOVE THE BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIBES HERE.
PT: Marissa Meyer/Lunar Chronicles, books with black covers, fantasy books, folklore and folklore retellings
WIL
1) I would die for all of these characters.
2) The Little Mermaid retelling!! Ecstatic that Meyer brought this one in via the android! Took me a mo to realize that was the story origin but AH it was great.
3) LONGER THAN EXPECTED?? Normally this kind of bonus content is like 100-200 pages. Bless you, Marissa, for going all out and giving us a 400 page look at additional content. J'adore!
4) THE EXPLANATION FOR THE SELENE/SCARLET MIXUP (and other loose ends). This so completely and effectively addresses every question I had about the main content of the series. Wow. A true model for other writers.
5) Carswell's Guide to Being Lucky. My heart. The Han Solo vibes!!!!!!!
6) REBECCA SOLER! I will never NOT compliment Rebecca on her performance! You did amazing, mate!

1) You know that feeling when you end a series and there's no more content for you to binge so you're left just feeling really hollow and empty and lost? Yea. Where do I go from here, Marissa? You've raised the bar too high. Nothing even compares. I loved this all too much, and now the only direction left is down- unless... unless.....I read it all again. Excuse me while I check out Cinder for the third time-
2) Something Old, Something New was just a shade too Emily Giffin for me. Just a tad. That's nitpicking, but I hate leaving this section so empty.
EDIT: if Carswell’s Guide to Being Lucky becomes a movie/short in the TLC show, it NEEDS to include Break My Stride by Matthew Wilder. AINT NOTHIN’ GONNA BREAK MY STRIDE, NOBODY GONNA SLOOW MEE DOOWWN OH NO! I GOT TO KEEP ON MOOOVIIINNN

Cute compilation of short stories, but the last one was so sweet! Loved having the gang back together for a wedding. Nice ending to the series!

This was a great collection of stories revolving around the main characters of the Lunar Chronicles. It was fun to read about the things that took part to each character before the books take place. Looking into the window of what created each character was a good way to answer multiple questions. I also liked the post book wedding between Scarlet and Wolf. There is also a sorry about an android who falls in love with a human.
