This was a brilliant addition to The Lunar Chronicles. With the exception of two, I loved this collection of novellas. It was so great to get extra little snippets of information that weren't included in the novels. The final novella was such a perfect ending to a fantastic series and I loved seeing all of my favourite characters together again.

The Lunar Chronicles is now among my favourite series, although I still maintain that Fairest was an unnecessary book. (view spoiler) ...more

Everything single story was amazing. They were all so well-written and added so much to the already brilliant series!
The Keeper- I loved this story and learning more about Scarlet's grandmother and the relationship they had with each other. I liked sassy teenage Scarlet! I also enjoyed learning more about Scarlet's grandmothers relationship with her grandfather.
Glitches- This story was so sad but so necessary, it really added to Cinders character and the character of Iko, thei *Possible Spoilers*

Glitches- This story was so sad but so necessary, it really added to Cinders character and the character of Iko, their first moment together was so sad but so meaningful!
The Queens Army- It was so interesting to see Wolf become Wolf. I loved the violence in this novella and how even from the start Wolf didn't agree with what he was. I am so glad he found his Alpha!
Carswell's guide to being lucky- This was such a funny story and even young Thorne has the power to charm everyone. I loved how although he tried to prove to Cress that he wasn't a hero in this incident, he really sort of was. In a weird, Thorne type way...
After Sunshine Passes By- Cress was one of my favourite characters and this made me so sad, she is so sweet and didn't deserve this. But it made her who she is and she is amazing! I liked learning more about before she was on the satellite and her little act of defiance. She is so great!
The Princess and The Guard- This just made me love Winter and Jacin even more, they are such a great pair and learning more about when they were young and inseparable really moulds their relationship now. They have always been there for each other and they really do need each other, I am glad Winter had Jacin throughout everything but I am also glad Jacin had Winter. He needs her just as much as she needs him.
The Little Android- Although this was really not what I expected it was a brilliant spin on the original The Little Mermaid, it made my heart melt. It was so amazing and although this was a short novella, I felt myself getting connected to the main character. when she went to see Cinder was amazing because it was such a quick meeting which Cinder probably never thought about again but had such a huge impact on the main characters life. It was beautifully written and such a nice story.
The Mechanic- Made me die, Kai is so cute and I can't even deal with this. He was so in love just like Cinder was and it feels me with and unimaginable amount of joy.
Something Old, Something New- This is the best novella I have ever read. It was beyond perfect, it was everything I ever wanted in an epilogue. Scarlet and Wolf are too cute and Thorne and Cress make me laugh, Winter and Jacin are still amazing together and Cinder and Kai are just everything. I was happy with literally every single sentence in this novella, to me it was honestly amazing. Its so nice to see a genuinely happy ending which made me feel all warm and fuzzy, this is my favourite ending to any series and it will forever be one of my favourites. Forever! ...more
