 Marvelous Eden of Books 
 Spoiler Free Review: 
 Marissa Meyer really is an awesome author. Right when readers thought The Lunar Chronicles was over, she came out with this awesome collection, so I thank her for that. Even though Winter's ending was pretty satisfactory, I'm sure everyone appreciated more background on the world and of course the epilogue. Honestly, the amount of willpower it took to not go to the last story, I don't even know how I did it. I enjoyed most of the stories, very few I found to be boring and we did get a lot more backstory on a lot of characters. Would I recommend this collection? Definitely. If you're a huge fan of this series, this will be a fun adventure. 
 The Keeper: 
 I was always curious about Michelle Benoit's past and this book made me really miss her. I also finally got to meet Logan, who was very intelligent but I didn't really like him. I really felt like Michelle should have told him the truth and she had to struggle through so much for it. There's a perspective on Scarlet, who at the time, was a bratty teenager but you could see the development into the Scarlet I read in The Lunar Chronicles. Additionally, there was the period in time where things were slowly building up to disaster. Plus, we get to see how Cinder got her name and who named her. ;) Overall, a very interesting story. 
 Rating: 4.5/5 
 Glitches: 
 I've already read this before in the paperback of Cinder, so this was a bit of a refresher. I liked it, for the most part. It was lonesome and cute and we got to see little Cinder, who was adorable. :) 
 Rating: 3/5 
 The Queen's Army: 
 Honestly, I wasn't expecting to enjoy this as much as I did. Wolf isn't my favorite of the crew, but damn this was pretty intense. It was intriguing to see what they do to the boys in training to be apart of Levana's wolfish army. Poor Wolf, though. There were quite a bit of blood and fighting, which I admit were very cool. If you like Wolf, you will love this.

 Carswell's Guide to Being Lucky: 
 Freaking Carswell Thorne. He is such a player, I can't even. Is it even possible for a thirteen year old kid to be more of a player than Thorne at age 20? Even if I should hate Thorne for how he used girls, he was a teenager, and he wasn't mean. Thorne had a heart and his character did develop.

 After Sunshine Passes By: 
 Meh? It took me a while for Cress to finally grow on me. This wasn't exactly significant to the story, but it gave me the Rapunzel feels, so I guess that counts for something. 
 Rating: 2/5 
 The Princess & the Guard: 
 Winter and Jacin aren't my favorite pairing, to be honest. Winter grew on me, she's charismatic, if a bit crazy. Jacin and his playfully snarky and sarcastic comments are awesome as well. In this story, there was more of a background on their childhood. Winter really is not as dumb as some like to think. She's rather clever. Even if she is naive and grew up as a princess, I felt like she had to mature quickly, due to the circumstances Levana put her in. Speaking of Levana, what she did to Winter was just--it was just horrible. Someone needs to kill her. ;) 
 Rating: 3.5/5 
 The Little Android: 
 This is a Little Mermaid retelling from the perspective of an android. I didn't really enjoy this story. I found to be pretty slow and boring. I did like the Little Mermaid aspects to it, however the ending was a bit confusing. 
 Rating: 2.75/5 
 The Mechanic: 
 I'll admit that I usually like the same story with just from the love interest's perspective. But I would call this an exception. Kai is so adorably naive, I can't help but love him.

 Something Old, Something New: 
 I'm sure this is everyone's favorite and it was mine as well. We get to see our favorite characters again and how their lives are now. I did wish that it was longer and we a perspective on the other characters, but I love to read from Cinder's point of view. The wedding was actually pretty surprising to me, I didn't expect the couple that was married to get married. I did have an issue with how Thorne acted towards Emilie, it was so inappropriate and doing it in front of Cress really bothered me. Anyway, this doesn't add much to the series besides satisfaction and fangirling, which is enough for me. It did leave us with a happy and satisfactory ending and I can't wait to see the Iko graphic novels. :)
