Goodreads Summary:
The enchantment continues....

With nine stories—five of which have never before been published—and an exclusive never-before-seen excerpt from Marissa Meyer’s upcoming novel, Heartless, about the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland, Stars Above is essential for fans of the bestselling and beloved Lunar Chronicles.

Sneak Peek:
"He had long ago determined that he would not let his birthright go unearned, that the history texts would not condem him as an worthy emperor. And while he may still have been plagued with doubts every single day, he knew deep down, that he was doing his very best." p 306
Initial Thoughts
I absolutely loved The Lunar Chronicles, so of course, I had to read this collection of short stories. Granted I had already read a few of them! Overall this is a fun collection of fan fiction - it is only for fans, if you haven't read Cinder or the rest of the series, then you probably won't care about these little side stories.
