The story of the lunar queen in the Lunar Chronicles is not a happy one. Levana is the indisputable villain of the series, and this short book tells her backstory. There are some aspects where she deserves some sympathy , but for the most part she demonstrates the ruthlessness and lack of concern for others that will be familiar from the rest of the series . This story is as well-written as the author's other books, but unlike the other stories in this series there's no bright spots in this one. Worth reading for fans of the series but probably not a good one to start with, see if you like the happier adventuring first.
