Oh Levana, you crazed delusional woman, how many lives you’ve ruined including your own bc of your own selfishness and childish crush. The way she could’ve turned out a normal princess had her parents actually given a fuck about her and had her own sister not set her on fire and scarred her for life (physically & emotionally.) If therapy was a thing on Luna TRUST that Levana should’ve been first at the door 😭

This was not a pleasant book and the fact that it pained me to rate it 5 stars is a testament to the author’s skill. You aren’t SUPPOSED to like this story. It’s tragic overall with villains that have few redeeming qualities.

Wonderful novella. It’s great to see Levana’s backstory. I loved that Meyer made us understand Levana but not truly accept her. Amazing depiction of the effects of severe childhood trauma on how children grow. I really appreciated the subtle references to previous books too.

This books was interesting but like 60 million times as dark as the others. Really it was too dark for me. You knew everything that happens was coming which made me able to brace myself a little more but Eve was just so vile and despicable.
