Fairest plays around 16 years before Cinder. At the court of Luna Levana grows completely in the shadow of her beautiful but superficial and malevolent sister Channary. Which itself is just a kid when she is crowned after the death of their parents. Politically, it turns out to be completely unable unlike Levana.
The first is surprised at what a clever strategist, it is as long as they can not be swayed by emotions. Because a loveless childhood Levana has become an emotional cripple, the importance of true feelings is foreign. As an ordinary member of the palace guard you meet friendly, they interpreted the wrong. She takes refuge in the delusion of love and fights with all means necessary to win over the heart of her chosen for themselves. She begins with her mental powers to manipulate the feelings of the soldiers and that you may soon slips increasingly the sense of what is right and wrong
It has to be well both Marissa Meyer as well as the spokeswoman Rebecca Soler credit for that one to forget in Fairest, what a witch Levana in the Lunar Chronicles. Levana is a difficult, sometimes pitiful person who despite all the cruelty is not the listener no matter. The whole audio book about it is hoped that she still gets the curve, although one as silvery already know from Cinder or like moons, to what kind of regent will. Levanas transformation from a minor princess to a power-hungry aggressor represents the Roman, or perhaps because of its length even more, the amendment certainly very understandable is.
In addition, the audience learns about the culture here much the Lunarier because the plot completely playing on the moon. So the world of Marissa Meyer's futuristic fairy tale is a bit more complex.
Although the Fairest actually act of tetralogy not drives and you also must not have heard the book to follow the original saga, so the amendment has proven yet as a beautiful gift for the fans.
I hope that this does not remain Meyers only amendment from the world of Space fairy tale.
