Love that this official finale to The Lunar Chronicles held a backstory for each beloved character so we could see sides of them we weren’t about to in their books. I’m sad it’s over but I absolutely love the way it ended bc both couples deserve their HEA 🥹🫶

TLDR; 3 rating, it’s an anthology, and a couple of these were in the backs of the books already.
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.
