Ever wondered what goes on inside the twisted mind of a psycho? Well, this book gives you a taste of that. I must say, it was quite unsettling and didn't really add much to the overall series. The writing was solid and the performance was top-notch, but personally, I couldn't bring myself to enjoy it.

First Impression after Finishing: Fairest by Marissa Meyer is a must-read addition to the Lunar Chronicles series!
Overall Thoughts: Did I feel sympathy for L after this story? Not really! Although her backstory did evoke some pity. She is driven solely by her own desires, displaying a strong tunnel vision (it may not be a legit term, but it captures her mindset perfectly).
Did I enjoy learning about her history? Absolutely! Marissa Meyer did a fantastic job of illustrating the complexity of even the most villainous characters. They may have additional layers of evil, but they are indeed layers!
Did I appreciate the sneak peek at Winter? You betcha! I can't wait to delve into it, although I'll have to do a complete re-listen closer to the release date of the final book.
Audio Thoughts:
Narrated by: Rebecca Soler / Length: 6 hrs and 36 mins
Rebecca Soler's narration throughout the series is outstanding. The only book I didn't listen to on audio was Cress, and I genuinely missed Rebecca's voice while reading it. She brings depth and emotion to Marissa Meyer's exquisite writing. If you haven't experienced these books in audio format yet, I highly recommend giving them a go!
