Review

So this is a book of short stories, so I am going to change it up a little bit.  Also, full disclosure, at this point, Ms. Meyer can do no wrong in my eyes, so get ready for a gush fest!

There are nine stories total; seven are prequels to the Lunar Chronicles, one for the whole Chronicle and another for each character, Cinder, Wolf, Carswell (♥), Cress, Winter, and Kai.

There is a standalone retelling of the little mermaid, with no Lunar Chronicle characters, called “The Little Android,” and honestly, it was hands down my favorite.  I loved it, and while the other stories comforted me like old friends, this one made me really feel (too corny?).

The final story is an epilogue to Winter and is super cute.   I loved getting the old gang back together and seeing what was happening with them all.
