The book published between Cress and Winter is Levana's story - a rose to power full of blood, human fragility and madness. 
 The novel start with death and will not have an happy endings - like everyonw who have read TLC will know and can imagine. 
 So, many people are proud of Levana as a villian. We know her: she crazy, obsessed, cruel, with quite a problem with the love and intimate sphere. Yet, I'm don't agree, not totally at least. Levana is compex, never satisfaited, capable to entertain the reader. Is she cruel? Yes, of course. Is she full of dark? Yes again. 
 But in the end, can I say that I think of Levana as the Villain? Not really. And I don't know why. I think that a lot about my sensation starts from Meyer's writing style. It's simple - detail that I love- but she was never able to completly catch me. 
 Levana's past is a concentrate in the lunar castle, in the royal halls and chambers, a past full of her older sister. There's something in her that make her terribile, without redemption, too far behind to go back. At the same time I spent a great part of the book shaking my head, hoping for her to change her mind and do the right thing, even knowing that nothing of that was going to happen. 
 So, even if Levana isn't the great Villain for me, she is still a strange human - writing normal would not be right - with enough charm to fascinate ma and drag me towadr her story to the point that I could even root for her. 
 What actually made my read a bit difficult, were all the other characters. While writing this review I realized how I shouldn't have expected something from them, since they stood under Channary's reign without flinching that much. So when Levana took over, they let everything happen. Beacuse, let's be real: Levana could have been killed many and many times. 
 Let's talk about Evret. He was under Levana control but at the same time he wasn't. Winter hold him to the palace, but which were the reason that brought him to the queen? Because he remain loyal to hi duty but at the same time the reacted to Levana's mood, clearly showing that he was able to say "no". But he also tried to fix her with few words, zero comprension, some screams. Obviously that didn't work out. I don't even know how he could think that it was the rght way to resolve a big damage that happened years and years before. 
 Another negative point about Fairest are few questions that went in and out my mind. 
 Like, how is it possibile that Channary's reign was secure and stable? She was always doing something instead to be a queen. Or how Levana was really able to keep it together without too much efforts.
