"An interesting mash up of fairy tales and science fiction . . . a cross between Cinderella, Terminator, and Star Wars." —Entertainment Weekly

True love. She did not think she had ever witnessed it, not beside the fairy tales she’d been told as a child and the fanciful dramas sometimes acted out for the court’s entertainment.

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

Pure evil has a name, hides behind a mask of deceit, and uses her "glamour" to gain power. But who is Queen Levana? Long before she crossed paths with Cinder, Scarlet, and Cress in The Lunar Chronicles, Levana lived a very different story—a story that has never been told . . . until now.

New York Times–bestselling author Marissa Meyer reveals the story behind her fascinating villain in Fairest, an unforgettable tale about love and war, deceit and death.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“She loves fiercely and kills with little remorse; her iron grip over the Lunar people is equal parts impressive and terrifying. Queen Levana from "The Lunar Chronicles'" is more than a beautiful villain. In this prequel, Meyer explains how she went from lonely, shy second daughter to the most feared and relentless woman in the universe. . . . Thorough world-building and fascinating character development will thrill fans and entice new readers.” —School Library Journal

More grown up but well done

This story did meet my expectations with one exception. It is much more "adult" in content and although it is not in anyway explicit sexually, I think I would only recommend this title in the series to adults. The story can function without this piece quite well since the whole series is very well thought out and fluid. I look forward to Winter!

Not my favorite book of the series.

This book is well written but I personally think it degraded and kind of ruined the character of Lavana for me. I had always loved the idea that this now crazy and evil queen once had a husband who she cared about this in my mind gave her depth. (spoiler)But you come to find out that not only did she force him into the relationship but he never truly loved her. I personally hoped to read this book and find some redeeming qualities of the queen. But was left to listen about a girl that goes for a bratty child to a crazy queen. There were no fun or gratifying parts of this book it is depressing from beginning to end. It also has alot more sexual content in it compared to the other books. This sexual content was also often times presented in a uncomfortable and even sometimes gross way hinting at many instances of people being forced to have sex outside their will.

Chilling

I loved this book it explained so much that I had questions about. I loved every minute of it!

Sick Narrator

I loved this book, but the narrator sounded a little sick through the first few chapters, she still did a good job, but it would've been better if she didn't sound like she had a stuffed nose

Love love love!

Everything makes a hundred times not sense after reading Levana's story! I don't agree with her, and I still think she's insane, but it does bring things into perspective! Very well written and very good read!
