I am officially done with The Lunar Chronicles. Bittersweet.

~The Keeper: Scarlett going to live with Michelle-a sweet story, I really liked it
~Glitches: Cinder going to live with the Lihns-emotional and good background information to have
~The Queen's army: sweet baby Wolf's background-emotional and important backstory
~Carswell's guide to being lucky: Thorne's past-a cute anecdote to add to the story
~After sunshine passes by: Cress gets locked in the satellite-sad story but necessary for background
~The princess and the guard: Jacin and Winter's background-necessary for Winter's background and why she doesn't use her gift
~The little android: I never di find out who this was about or why it was important to the story
~The mechanic: Kai and Cinder's first meeting from Kai's point of view-not necessary, but super cute and fun
~Something old, Something new: family reunion, yay! I really appreciated this. It was like an extended epilogue and I loved it. After everything they have been through together, seeing them all at the farmhouse together back on Earth for Scarlett and Wolf's wedding and making normal plans for the near future and sharing a meal and being normal for once was much needed. The surprise wedding was beautiful. Leaving the boys to the decorations? Genuis and hilarious. And the proposal was so sweet. It was a great ending to the series.

This book is a compilation of short stories that mostly fill in some of the gaps, so it’s a good informational book regarding some of the character backstory, and also having a good wrap up epilogue.

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.
