Fairest: Levana's Story by Marissa Meyer REVIEW

 

The Lunar Chronicles - Levana's Story
Summary:

In this stunning bridge book between Cress and Winter in the bestselling Lunar Chronicles, Queen Levana’s story is finally told.

Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Who is the fairest of them all?


Fans of the Lunar Chronicles know Queen Levana as a ruler who uses her “glamour” to gain power. But long before she crossed paths with Cinder, Scarlet, and Cress, Levana lived a very different story – a story that has never been told . . . until now.


My Thoughts:

I was really excited to read Levana's backstory because I like it when authors show the story of how the villain became the villain. Although the story was written well and makes you feel bad for Levana, it had some problems.
-For some reason, Levana has a crush on Evret Hayle, a guard who is already married. When his wife dies, she forces him to marry her (which is really awkward).
-Also it talked about her sister, Channary, sleeping with random guards and soldiers.
-It was also a short book with a HUGE preview of Winter, the last book in the Lunar Chronicles, which comes out November 10, 2015.

But the inside cover had a beautiful illustration of the Lunar palace . . .

 

My Rating: 4 stars
