A review by aldoregan
Stars Above by Marissa Meyer
3.0
The Lunar Chronicles is such a beautiful series and words are not enough to express how much I love these books and how attached I am to this story, to the characters, and to the world Marissa Meyer has created. And now, it is officially the end. But Marissa ended it perfectly, I couldn't ask for more.
I'm quite surprised by how fast I read this. I finished it in 2 days, which is really surprising considering I have tons of schoolwork. I guess this is just what happens when it's a favourite series (or book) I'm reading. (Lmao how biased). It's actually kind of a bad thing because I really wanted to prolong reading Stars Above because I didn't want it to end yet, but sighhh turns out I'd finish it in just 2 days.
My top three favourite short stories would probably be The Queen's Army, The Little Android, and Something Old, Something New (!!!).
I have to admit, I really didn't care about Wolf during the previous books. Mostly because he was pretty much useless and dangerous to the gang. But reading his story, The Queen's Army, made me feel sympathy towards his character. I really feel sorry for him, especially with all the circumstances he's been through in the previous books. Good thing he has Scarlet. (5/5)
The Little Android was something I never thought I'd like so much. It was so sad! Mech6.0's story broke my heart even though it was just 45 pages! (5/5)
And of course, Something Old, Something New. This short story is considered as an epilogue of this series and it was the perfect epilogue we could ever get! It was so nice seeing the gang altogether! I actually teared up when I read this story. All I can say is that I love it so so so so much!!!! (5/5)
My ratings for the other short stories:
The Keeper: 4/5 I really like Michelle Benoit. I really wish Cinder met her. :((
Glitches: 4/5
Carswell's Guide to Being Lucky: 3/5
After Sunshine Passes By: 3/5
The Princess and The Guard: 4/5
The Mechanic: 4.5/5 bc KAIDER!!!
Overall rating: 4/5
I'm really going to miss this series a lot. TLC will always have a special place in my heart.<3
