5th Period Inferring/Predicting: Fairest by Marissa Meyer

Hi class!
This month I am reading Fairest, a science fiction novel by Marissa Meyer. This book is the prequel to the series The Lunar Chronicles. The story begins when Levana is 15 years old, on the day after her parents, King Marrok and Queen Jannali, are brutally murdered by an ungifted lunar, also know as a shell, who didn’t like very much their ruling. During this day, we get to meet Princess Channary, who is soon to be queen of Luna. We also get to see that she is truly cruel towards her “baby sister” because she thinks Levana is ugly. Also, we get to meet Sir Evret Hayle, Levana’s love interest in the book, and Solstice Hayle, his wife, which is currently pregnant.
I think that the reason Levana is evil is because she has no love in her family, being that she only has Channary left and she is really mean to her. Another reason I think she turns evil is because the only person that talks to her, Evret, is married, which means Levana cannot live happily ever after with the love of her life. I think this is why because at the very end of the chapter, she says that Evret and Solstice look like they have a true love, which means that she will never be happy. Even thought it is the prequel to the whole series, I really recommend to go and read the rest of the series first, since this books contains certain spoilers. I am really excited to see what happens in this amazing book!

    Hi Mrs. Hirst! So, this book relates to other well-known series for several reasons: its main character is a girl that is 16 year old, there is science fiction elements , you can relate very well to the characters and there is just a hint of romance as well in this series. The reason that this is my FAVORITE SERIES EVER is because of how well it is written. Marissa Meyer did a lot of research to add true facts about it. Also, the characters are funny and the story goes really fast, you never get bored because you understand everything that is happening.
