Our view
“Stars Above” is a story collection for readers who have finished “The Lunar Chronicles” and want more time with its characters. The tales fill in pasts, among them how Cinder reached New Beijing and what turned Wolf into a killer, and one hands out happy endings generously. Some readers find the short form stops each story just as it gets going. It assumes the novels have been read.

About the book
The enchantment continues. . . . The universe of the Lunar Chronicles holds stories - and secrets - that are wondrous, vicious, and romantic. How did Cinder first arrive in New Beijing? How did the brooding soldier Wolf transform from young man to killer? When did Princess Winter and the palace guard Jacin realize their destinies? With six stories - two of which have never before been published - and an exclusive never-before-seen excerpt from Marissa Meyer's upcoming novel, Heartless, about the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland, Stars Above is essential for fans of the bestselling and beloved Lunar Chronicles.
