Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Who is the fairest of them all?
Fans of the Lunar Chronicles know Queen Levana as a ruler who uses her “glamour” to gain power. But long before she crossed paths with Cinder, Scarlet, and Cress, Levana lived a very different story – a story that has never been told . . . until now.
Marissa Meyer spins yet another unforgettable tale about love and war, deceit and death. This extraordinary book includes full-color art and an excerpt from Winter, the next book in the Lunar Chronicles series.

Another excellent audio performance by Rebecca Soler! As with the other books in this series, she does a fanfreakingtastic job of bringing each of the characters to life.
Story: 3.5 Stars
Levana definitely takes, "I have issues" to a whole different level. Like, hide your rabbits, hide your pots, and make sure the water doesn't reach boiling point, brand of issues. There were times I was sad for her, but mostly, I wanted to hide from her. Glamour myself as a tree or something.
Fairest is darker than the previous books and does a great job of setting the stage for Winter, but I missed the humor and romance the rest of the series has. However, in creating a villain worthy both of my respect and fear, Marissa Meyer has also solidified my role as a "Lunartic" and I CAN.NOT.WAIT for WINTER!
