“Cinders. Embers. Ashes. Michelle hoped that whatever strength had allowed this child to survive the fire all those years ago was a strength that still burned inside her. That it would go on burning, hotter and hotter, until she was as bright as the rising sun.”

This book is a great way to end the Lunar Chronicles! There were many moments that were shortly mentioned in the main story and this book elaborates on it further. Each story felt special as it focused on the main characters’ past and their experiences. In my review of ‘Winter’ I mentioned that I was less invested in Winter and Jacin and didn’t understand Winter’s decisions. The story ‘The Princess and the Guard’ made me change my opinion. Sigh, I do like them now and I finally understand Winter. 
I really enjoyed Thorne’s story. He’s such a funny character and is very smart. A typical Thorne moment right here >>>
"Last summer, he'd even managed to get the Santos family to pay him sixty-five univs for a box of "succulent, prize-winning" oranges, having no idea that he'd picked the fruits off their own tree earlier that day."
And there is one short story (Something Old, Something New) that takes place after the book ‘Winter’ and oh my gosh, so cute!
