This was a great look into Levana's life and I'm so glad I read this before Winter. I love having more details about Luna and 
 how it came to be. 
 It didn't make me like Levana but it did make me feel for her. I felt that she and Cinder were flip sides of a coin, both with a family that didn't show them love or kindness and they both took it on in there lives and grew from this. Yes Levana grew evil and desperate for love and admiration but with no idea how to get this other then force and glamour, whilst Cinda grew and developed a take no shit attitude and 
 her past was able to form her into someone that found confidence without approval. 
 It makes you wonder, if Cinder had made even a few different choices she could of been just as evil as Levana. 
 Everyone can make a choose in there life whether to do the right or wrong thing and that choice will impact there lives no matter what. 
 I highly recommend reading this before Winter as it sets up the final book perfectly.
