Just a collection of short stories about the characters from the series. Some of them were in the past, some weren’t.  I liked some more than others.

Nice prequels that answer a few unresolved questions. The epilogue was also much appreciated.

Wonderful collection of novellas for the lunar chronicles series. This book really gave insight to side characters like Michelle Benoit but also all the protagonists from previous books. I would totally recommend this to someone who enjoyed the main books.

This was a nice end to the series with lots of backstory. I’m just upset that we didn’t see more of Cress and Thorne’s relationship. We got everyone else’s, but not theirs 😭

Some stories really added to the story, some were just fun additions and some were just fillers. Overall, it was good, but not great. I liked it.

I appreciated The Keeper, Glitches, and The Princess and the Guard the most because they actually added to the story. I didn't see the point in The Little Android and The Mechanic. Carswell's Guide to Being Lucky was fun. After Sunshine Passes By and The Queen's Army could have added to the story, but they both fell short – however, I liked the former but not so much the latter (which could be because I love Cress and don't care for Wolf). Something old, something new was a nice ending, however the whole "alpha"-thing is still so cringy and Kai proposing the same day as Scarlet and Wolf's wedding is so not cool, dude.
