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 😭

My least favorite of The Lunar Chronicles, but still an amazing book in it's own right. You get to see inside of Queen Levanna's head and while I still didn't like her, I did sympathize with her. Villain origin story done right. My only complaint is that I feel some parts were quite rushed.
