Fairest book review

Fairest by Marissa Meyer
Book review by Mayte Van den Broeck
3/5 stars

This book is actually a novella about the villain of a series named the Lunar chronicles. The lunar chronicles includes Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, and Winter. They are all sort of based on fairy tales.
The story is about how a young, misunderstood, lonely, and scarred lunar princess named Levana turned into the most wicked and powerful queen Luna had ever had. The story passes over ten years.

I had some mixed feelings about this because, at first I actually felt sorry for the main character (though I didn’t really like her much). And then it was fascinating and a little bit scary how she changed over the years into someone so different. The change being brought on by several factors in her life. The book was written in a nice style, and it was a very fluent read. I did find myself bored quite often near the beginning though, because the story was too slow and uninteresting. If you like this book series, I would recommend A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas.
