Genre: YA, Science Fiction, Short Stories
Series: Lunar Chronicles
Awards: None
Format: Audio
Narrator: Rebecca Soler
WHY?: Because I'm a certified Lunartic:0).
The one oddball story, which was my favorite, was The Little Android. It is the only entry in the collection that has a fully fledged story arc and could really count as a short story. I really love the idea of sentient androids, which is probably why I love Iko so much, and the story uses this idea to re-tell The Little Mermaid (which is my favorite fairy tale). It is done with Meyer's usual creative flair and works really well.
The last story is the most fun because we get to peek at where our friends are after Winter ends. It solidified for me that Cinder and Kai, the original couple, are my favorite. I'm a sucker for characters with a strong sense of duty and responsibility, especially when said characters get their much deserved rewards. There's something so satisfying about it. Because of my love for them I also really enjoyed the story of their first meeting from Kai's perspective.
Rebecca Soler was the narrator for the entire series and I really like her reading. On the audio version at least there is an excerpt from Meyer's next book, Heartless, a story based in Wonderland (as in "Alice in") and I was hooked and can't wait for that book to come out now!
FINAL VERDICT: This is an enjoyable companion to the Lunar Chronicles series that any fan will definitely want to read! 3 out of 5 Stars.
