5 stars for this beautiful addition to the Celestial Kingdom Duology. Overall, I was incredibly impressed by the way the author adapted to the voices of each character's POV. In such a small collection of short stories, it is incredibly difficult to feel fully immersed in a character's mind and view, and yet Sue Lynn Tan does this with ease. The writing, as with the Duology itself, is incredibly beautiful and creates a world within the reader's head that is easy to follow. Because this is a collection of short stories, rather than one continuous plot, I will not be writing a full review. I think it suffices to say that every expectation I had for this collection was met: I got to revisit characters I know and love, I got to experience different perspectives on important events from the duology, and I got to see a *final* final ending that brought me joy and truly felt like closing the storyline. Anyone who loved the Celestial Kingdom Duology will find this collection charming, fulfilling, and emotional, leaving the reader wishing there had been even just one more page to cling to :)
