Content warnings at the bottom. :)
Every anthology I’ve ever read has had hits and misses. Most of these, unfortunately, were misses. I love The Little Android, which is the one exception, but most of these stories were in the backs of the original books. The one with Cinder’s dad, for example. And when I said I wanted Winter and Jacin’s relationship to be fleshed out, I didn’t mean that I wanted Winter to be unwittingly a player in someone’s continued sexual assault. It’s icky.
I wanted more of the Rampion crew. I know there’s the graphic novels, but I wanted more like the wedding story, which was very short and very rushed, if you ask me. And the fact that Kai upstages it by proposing to Cinder? The story says there’s a time skip, but they both seem like the immature teens they were in the series. UGH.
Rating: 3
Would I recommend? No, you could probably find The Little Android and the Rampion wedding story online somewhere.

The “origin” stories of Cinder, Wolf, and Cress were well done and provided information and insight on the characters. However, the ones for Winter and Kai were not nearly as well done or necessary.
Kai’s was literally just the opening of Cinder from his perspective. No new information was gained. No new storyline was introduced. It was just there.
Winter’s I feel like just wasn’t needed, except for the part about how she got her scars. The expansion of how Park abused the servant and how Jacin helped her through the hallucinations… we got all that from her book.
And then there was the android’s perspective. It didn’t relate to anything and it mostly just… was there. It was cool so see how androids became more human, but still.
The last story, which acted as more of an epilogue to the whole series was greatly needed. It put a nice little bow on everything and ensured they all got their happy endings.
Minor: Sexual assault
