Fairest is a intriguing tale about a young princess who only wants to be beautiful and fall in love with an already taken man. Princess Levana was scarred as a child when her sister and crown princess, Channary, throws her into a fire. This is only the beginning of her troubles. It tells all about the Lunar Court and Levana’s role (or lack thereof).
I thought it was amazing. It reveals the calculating inter-workings of the Lunar Court. It helps explain some of the gaps in the earlier books, such as Levana’s connection to Cinder and the other characters. This is another great addition to the Lunar Chronicles.
Levana’s twisted mind won’t let you decide if you pity her or if you despise her.

ABOUT … Adrienne, Teen Librarian & Digital Media Lab Librarian at Libbie Mill Library.
Hi, I’m Adrienne, and I’ve been a Teen Librarian at HCPL since 2006. I started at Twin Hickory and moved to Libbie Mill in 2015. Come visit our Teen Room and check out all we have for you -- books, great study and hanging out space, free computers, free classes in 3D design & printing, Coding, Photoshop and soooo much more!
Random stuff about me:
* Favorite book: Hmmmm, this is hard, since it changes all the time as I read new stuff and depending on what mood I’m in. However, there is one book that I know will still make me snort with laughter even when I’m 80 years old — The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams.
* Favorite food: perfectly made toast
* Favorite band/music: Cake. I will never get enough Cake.
* Favorite reference question: Q: How long does it take the galaxy to rotate once? A: It’s called a galactic or cosmic year and it takes about 225-250 million earth years.
* Pets: I have two cats and a dog. Marcus and Grey are the cats who were rescued from a box in the woods when they were just little puffballs. When they are not acting insane, they are very sweet and purr loudly. My dog is named Peter and he's a medium size poodle mix (we call him the substandard poodle). He's got floppy ears, snores and loves green beans.
