she was actually insane start to finish i like that this book just really solidified that we fr hate this bitch !!! beat her up lunar gang !! evret deserved better
Very nice view into the past of queen Levana.
Though it didn't make me like her more, I do feel like I understand her twisted character a little better

I LOVE THIS SERIES!!! While this book technically goes between Cress and Winter I only just read it (3 months after reading Winter which didn't hinder my enjoyment of Winter in the least. However, I DO recommend reading Fairest in the proper order. ). And let me tell you....The moon has been visible every day this week and I keep looking at it and thinking, "Hmmm, I wonder if Levana can see me...."
I do NOT like Levana...AT ALL...And this book did not change that. I do not have compassion for her. I do not see ANY good in her. BUT, this book was REALLY REALLY well written, and it gives us SO MUCH INSIGHT into Levana's past. Although I DO feel bad for the whole reason she wears a veil. Knowing that if that event hadn't taken place that maybe she would have turned out nicer, but it is doubtful. She is a cunning queen. She knows what she is doing, and sees the long term goals. Too bad she didn't have at least a smidgen of good in her. Although she does raise her step-daughter...But let's not get into my feelings on that...Levana is the epitome of evil. Yet the world that Marissa Meyer has created is spectacular.
I borrowed the audiobook copy of Fairest from my local library. I was not required to write a review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.

This book just deepens the complexity of the antagonist Levana. Great read, and a must to truly understand the characters in the Lunar Chronicles.

This is one of those villain origin stories where the villain has always been evil from the beginning, like to their core. Whats more disturbing than the things that happened to her and the things that she did is the way she genuinely justifies it all in her head. Like not an ounce of remorse just truly self righteous delusion. Wild.
This book made me very uncomfortable. Only thing I liked about this book was baby Cinder and Winter. Levana is a horrible person I tried to see if I could feel bad for her but that felt nearly impossible.
