Before the finale of The Lunar Chronicles could be released, author Marissa Meyer had to string us along a bit with a diversion into a significant character's back story. Fairest is our peek into what makes the Evil Queen so evil. Levana may rule Luna now, but it took a lot of effort on her part to gain that position and unfortunately for those who stood in her way, there isn't much she won't do to get what she wants.
The key to a fully developed villain is a powerful motivating reason for said villainy and this short book allows the reader to peel back Levana's layers.
You will not come to love Levana or even to feel sympathy for her (well, maybe a little), but you will come to understand her.
