* I already own Die for Me in german language and I have already read it. I really liked this book and i really want to read the other parts, but sometimes it takes ages for a book to be published in German. Well, they are already published in German, but i own Die for Me in paperback and the other two books aren't going to be published in paperback soon, so I thought I could buy all three books in English.

Review: Heartless by Marissa Meyer

Title: Heartless 
Author: Marissa Meyer
Published: November 8th 2016
Date Read: December 10th – 17th 2016
Read In: English

Catherine may be one of the most desired girls in Wonderland and a favorite of the unmarried King, but her interests lie elsewhere. A talented baker, she wants to open a shop and create delectable pastries. But for her mother, such a goal is unthinkable for a woman who could be a queen.

At a royal ball where Catherine is expected to receive the King's marriage proposal, she meets handsome and mysterious Jest. For the first time, she feels the pull of true attraction. At the risk of offending the King and infuriating her parents, she and Jest enter into a secret courtship.

Cath is determined to choose her own destiny. But in a land thriving with magic, madness, and monsters, fate has other plans.




I was so excited for this book because i loved The Lunar Chronicles so much and i miss the characters a lot. While this book is different and probably not supposed to be part of a series, i did like it. Sometimes it was frustrating to read about all those failures of Catherine though. But i hoped until the end that Catherine is going to have a happy ending, even though the title suggests different.

Review: Stars Above by Marissa Meyer

Title: Stars Above (The Lunar Chronicles Collection)
Author: Marissa Meyer
Published: February 2nd 2016
Date Read: February 18th - 21st 2016
Read In: English


The universe of the Lunar Chronicles holds stories – and secrets – that are wonderous, 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 a special bonus 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 beststelling and beloved Lunar Chronicles.






This Collection contains 9 stories:
The Keeper
Glitches
The Queen's Army
Carswell's Guide to being Lucky
After Sunshine passes by
The Princess and the Guard
The Little Android
The Mechanic
Something Old, Something New 


I'm not going to review each story alone, so this won't be a huge review. These 9 stories were rather short, the longest one being The Princess and the Guard i think. All stories were nice to read and when i started this book, it felt like i've missed The Lunar Chronicles a lot, even though it's not that long ago since Winter came out.

The writing is great as always and all 9 stories were kinda cute. The first 8 stories take place before Cinder, the last one takes place after Winter. By their names you can probably guess who the story is about, if you've read The Lunar Chronicles – apart from The Little Android, which is about an android we haven't met before, but she meets Cinder somewhere in her life.

One day there will be another book about this universe, called Wires and Nerve. Until then, i'll really miss The Lunar Chronicles.
