3.0

While villain backstories can be good, this was okay at best. Yes it tells the story of Levana and her decisions and development towards evil (cray cray if you ask me) leading up to the events of the Lunar Chronicles. Mostly though, being in Levana's POV was very extremely uncomfortable. All the manipulation and cruel and obsessive thoughts. Interesting addition to the series, but imo you don't miss much by skipping this one.
