3.0

Loved getting some of Levana’s backstory, but I don’t feel like the writing was quite as strong as the other novels. Perhaps because it started out intended as a promotional short story? Still, it adds a whole lot of understanding now as I go back to reading Winter. 

Parents: Fairest has content that I feel is a bit more “mature” than the other novels as far as sexual references. All closed door, but definite references to manipulation, seduction, loss of virginity, etc. Just FYI.
