The Princess and the Guard - A Prequel to Winter, the friendship between Winter and Jacin, also answering questions about Winter’s past.
Something old, Something new - An epilogue to Winter, where they have a wedding set two years after Winter.
In Stars Above, you get to know a bit more about each of the characters, and some secondary characters too, through backstories and events told in different perspectives. I liked this collection of short stories, they were written well, catching your attention on page one and throughout the book. I would recommend this because it was a fun read, people who have read the Lunar Chronicles and like sci-fi would enjoy this book. If you liked the Lunar Chronicles series, this would be a great next read.
