Fairest By Marissa Meyer- Review

Hello Readers,

Here is the long awaited review for "Fairest" I'm not head long into the "Winter" book from this Lunar Chronicles. I can't wait to see how this series ends and I'm enjoying the reading challenges I'm apart of.

The Fairest 
By Marissa Meyer

 The #1 "New York Times "Bestselling Series! 
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. This extraordinary book includes a special full-color image of Levana's castle and an excerpt from "Winter," the exciting conclusion to The Lunar Chronicles.
Meyer is putting a spin on the evil queen from Snow White fame to show how Levana became the kind of woman who would rule the moon colony of Luna and want to take over Earth, too. "USA Today"
An unrelentingly gripping read . . . Channeling her inner George R. R. Martin, Marissa Meyer weaves the grimmest of fairy tales in "Fairest." Hypable
Will thrill fans and entice new readers. "School Library Journal"
Combines a classic folk tale with hints of "The Terminator" and "Star Wars." USAToday.com for "Cinder""


5/5 Stars- Review

WOW here is the most in depth look at a villain that I have read in years and she managed to make her seem normal, to make us understand why she becomes the full source of evil to many of our beloved it characters. I can't wait to see how the others survive the wrath of Levanna. 

The heart breaking love story that she went through, the torment and punishment that life gave her by putting her through things with her sister, the curse of her parents and of course not understanding how to survive except inside her bubble. I understand her so much better and I can see more of the rounded world that Marissa Meyer was creating with this short story novel. I love the attention to detail that she managed to put into the book and the small things that makes you go 'ah okay'. 

There is far more to this writers work and I think I will discover some of the last hidden gems that she has created in the last book Winter. I can't think of a better book to follow up Cress. I know that this book plays a far bigger role than people realize. 

This is a MUST READ for all. I highly recommend this book and taking the time with the series. Give it the time that it deserves.
