 Interesting to read the prequel to Cinder! 
 We see a young Cinder, first coming to the Linh family, a broken Iko, and the beginning of Adri's rage. I loved getting a little extra to Cinder's story! 
 Review originally posted on The Book Addict's Guide: Obviously being in love with CINDER and SCARLET, I had to read the novellas or the "in-between" stories that go with The Lunar Chronicles. GLITCHES is a quick story going back in time to before we start CINDER. It's actually a glimpse into Cinder's first experiences as she's taken in by the Linh family. 
 WHAT I LIKED 
 *Seeing the very first encounter of Cinder & the Linhs 
 *Actually seeing Cinder's step-father and witnessing exactly what happened to him and why he's not around 
 *We really got more emotion and a little more back story of Adri versus Cinder. I mean, I always understood that she didn't like Cinder for many reasons, but seeing this prequel actually made me a little sympathetic to her. Obviously I'm still on Cinder's side but hey. I can kind of get it. 
 *Iko!!! I love little Iko and even she has a backstory in GLITCHES! 
 *Peony! She's always been such a sweet girl. 
 WHAT I WAS MISSING 
 I can't say I was disappointed by GLITCHES but really the only reason why I don't feel like I can give it a rating as a separate story was that because it wasn't quite a separate story. It's absolutely a prequel to CINDER and I loved seeing the very beginning of Cinder's memory, really. It was short and sweet, but there really wasn't too much as far as a separate story line or plot goes since we know most of all of this in bites & pieces from CINDER. 
 As read/reviewed in STARS ABOVE (re-read 2/2/16): This isn't a new story (I first read it on Tor.com a few years back) but I wanted to read all of the stories, no matter if they were old or new. This one really tugs at my heartstrings! It's the story of when Cinder first arrived at the Linh residence and (among other things), my heart just breaks for her. She didn't choose to be a cyborg and she's categorized as inhuman just because has some robotic limbs and enhanced abilities. I always love learning more about Cinder... And I'm reminded again how awful Adri is.
