A lot of questions you may have after reading the first three books in THE LUNAR CHRONICLES are answered in this book and there is also a lot of extra information you’ll learn that you didn’t even know you wanted. In addition to the romance, FAIREST sets up all of the politics that lead to the events of CINDER.

The soft, romantic, emotional side of Levana is something readers don’t get to see in the main series installments, so it is fascinating to read. It is an interesting dynamic because Evret fears for what will happen to him and his daughter if he doesn’t do what Levana wants. Levana is controlling and manipulative, even as a teenager. The only light that she had was Evret, a royal guard who she felt was the only person in her life who had shown her true kindness.įAIREST spends a lot of time with the toxic relationship between Levana and Evret. She was very privileged to be a princess, but her parents rarely interacted with her, and her older sister, Channary, was cruel to her. Readers learn quickly that Levana didn’t have the happiest childhood. This book dives deep into Levana’s character, emotions, history, motivations and mindset, and thus enhances the other books in the series.

It takes place years before the events of CINDER, when Levana was a teenager and young adult. The short series installment centers on Levana, the series’ main antagonist. FAIREST is novel 3.5 in Marissa Meyer’s THE LUNAR CHRONICLES series and acts as a prequel to CINDER.
