Review
It’s no surprise that I thoroughly enjoyed this collection of short stories. When I reread the series I will be adding the short stories into their (roughly) corresponding order. It was fantastic to be back in the Lunar world and get new glimpse of characters. The stories give a nice background into the individual stories.
Carswell’s story was super cute and fun plus fit his character so well. Jacin and Winter’s story, ahhh one of my favorites. It actually made me love the couple even more! They are adorable together and Jacin's care for Winter is just great. The Mechanic was my least favorite story but mainly because I felt like it did not provide a lot of new material.
Stars Above ends on a wonderful perfectly high note. I loved the Something Old , Something New story. It was the happily ever after that I was looking for. If you are on the fence about reading the short stories, do it! The last one is a wonderful epilogue to one amazing series!
