The enchantment continues....

The universe of the Lunar Chronicles holds stories—and secrets—that are wondrous, vicious, and romantic. How did Cinder first arrive in New Beijing? How did the brooding soldier Wolf transform from young man to killer? When did Princess Winter and the palace guard Jacin realize their destinies?

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.

Ich kann nicht glauben, dass es jetzt wirklich und endgültig vorbei ist. Ich meine theoretisch war es schon nach Winter vorbei und zu dem Zeitpunkt wusste ich auch noch nicht, dass es diesen Kurzgeschichtenband geben wird und als ich den Kurzgeschichtenband bestellt habe, wusste ich auch nicht, dass es eine Geschichte gibt, die nach Winter spielt, aber ach manno, irgendwie macht das echt traurig.

Was bedeutet, dass dieses Buch genau das erreicht hat, was es wahrscheinlich erreichen wollte. Ich habe jetzt total Lust die ganze Reihe einfach nochmal zu lesen.

Falls irgendjemand nachgerechnet hat, ergibt das eigentlich einen Durchschnitt von 4,27 Punkten, aber das ist mir egal. Mein Gefühl sagt mir, dass ich dem ganzen 4,5 Punkte geben möchte und deswegen mache ich das auch.
