Most of these tales -- except for Carswells, and the series coda -- are stories of loss, pain, death, alienation and the cruelty of Queen Levana, in one way or another -- and Meyers sleek, detailed writing creates some scenes of true horror (Winter being forced to carve up her own face) or spellbinding beauty (But she was already vast and bright and endless).And it does help flesh out the characters even more, especially when they focus on a character who is either very internalized (Zeev) or doesnt appear much in the flesh (Michelle, Scars grandmother). Theyre in roughly chronological order, beginning with The Keeper, and Michelles struggle to care for and hide the Lunar princess in the basement of her farmhouse. And there is a new novella called Something Old, Something New, a tale taking place after the end of the series. For others, its being physically transformed into something new -- a cyborg or a wolf-man.One or two of the stories are a bit lightweight (The Mechanic is simply Kai and Cinders first meeting from HIS point of view), but most of them have a wrenching quality at their heart. While the novels are a complete story unto themselves, these short stories allow Meyer to fill in the cracks between her stories, exploring the characters at pivotal, life-changing points in their lives. Then there is Glitches, where a small cyborg child is brought to live with her new stepfamily, only to be stranded with a cruel, bitter stepmother and bratty stepsister.And then there are stories for other characters -- Z, a boy torn from his family and forever altered into an elite, wolfish soldier for the Lunar Queen; Carswell, a wealthy young boy whose schemes and con games are interrupted by compassion; Cress, a young shell whose ingenuity causes her to be exiled into space; Winters regret over the use of her gift prompts her to vow not to use it again, with terrible results; and Kai brings his beloved android to a simple mechanics shop, with life-changing results.There is also The Little Android, a bittersweet tale based on The Little Mermaid, where a robot falls in love with a human. Cinder in particular is explored as a clumsy, amnesiac child who is offered little but scorn, slowly growing from her initial depressed blankness into a clever child who finds a niche where she belongs -- and her brief appearances throughout the stories allow us to see her grow in strength and confidence.This collection also has a few sample chapters from Meyers forthcoming book Heartless, which is based on Lewis Carrolls Wonderland books. So it only seems natural that Marissa Meyer expanded her science-fiction fairy-tale series with Stars Above, a collection of her short stories that fill in all the gaps of the characters pasts -- and though readers of her series will know where each story goes, every one is a gripping little tale that fleshes out the wider story.Each of the stories focuses on a character -- some major, some supporting -- in the Lunar Chronicles universe, but several years before the events of the main series. Clever, bittersweet and beautifully written. For some, its simply finding a new place in life. Cinder and her friends reunite on Scarlets farm for a very romantic occasion, and the cyborg has the chance to finally come full circle to where her journey began.It goes without saying that Stars Above is a collection that should only be read after one has finished the rest of the Lunar Chronicles, because it effectively gives away half the twists that take place in the series -- including the ending. The Lunar Chronicles are a series with lots of complexity and history -- whether the characters are from Earth or Luna, they have a lot going on in their lives. It follows Catherine, the daughter of a bombastic Marchioness, who bakes a set of lemon tarts shortly before a royal ball.Best read after the rest of the series, Stars Above: A Lunar Chronicles Collection expands the characters backstories, adding new richness and depth -- and providing a solid, satisfying coda to the series.
