Fairest takes place long before the main four books of the series. It’s basically about Queen Levana and her story. This book didn’t really make me feel any better about her, and I still think she’s a bad person. She had no right to do any of the things she did, (*SPOILER*) especially to Evret and how she glamoured and tried to manipulate him to marry her. Those of you who already read the series probably already know that Evret was killed by a thaumaturge, which had to do with Levana’s plotting. I think Levana truly did love Evret, but her decisions were blinded by her own selfishness and goodness. Also, I understand that Levana was lonely and she had an abusive sister, (and I kind of feel a little bad for her) but that didn’t give her any right to do what she did to people like Evret, Selene, and Winter. Overall, this was a nice addition to the series, and it gave some nice background information about the queen.
