A quick little back story on the villain of the Lunar Chronicles: Lunar Queen Levana. It really only justifies the fact that she is a spoiled, delusional jerk, but you get to read about how she came into power. There were certainly other family members in her way of the throne, including her even more nasty, bratty sister. Also, an incredibly creepy tale of Levana's first and only love, a palace guard, that her little teen heart becomes obsessed with. He certainly doesn't love her back in the same way, so what's a princess talented in the arts of glamour and mind-bending to do? So, a predictable tale of backstabbing that wasn't a terrible read, but short and sweet for fans of the Lunar series.
