I was actually close to tears so many times in this book. When I was reading Cinder, Scarlet and Cress, I knew that something must have happened to Levana to make her the monumental bitch that she is, but I wasn't expecting this. 
 Marissa gave Levana a beautiful and almost heartbreaking backstory, and honestly it was understandable to me. Obviously I still want Levana to be defeated, probably killed or maybe imprisoned and made to watch cute videos of baby animals and children on a loop until she goes crazy with kindness. 
 I cant wait for the other novellas to come out in Stars Above. If Marissa made me feel for Levana, I can't imagine how much more she'll make me love all the other characters.
