Fairest (The Lunar Chronicles) by Marissa Meyer
In the grand scheme of things, the novella gives you a lot of good background to Levana. Her character is much more complex and richer than she was ever was in the main series, which was provided by her own narrative taking place before the events of the main series. However, it doesn't necessarily further the plot in any way that I deem necessary before reading Winter.
Middle School
Probably one of my favorite books of all time, this book is about Nova who is growing up in a world where superheroes and super villains exist. She grows up as the niece to the most powerful super villain and is given the task of infiltrating the superhero organization and the story that follows is incredible.
Another super fun read for middle schoolers! This book is also super fun because it allows the kids to self-reflect on their own experiences and viewpoints.

Toll! Für mich der beste Teil der Reihe! Wie sich das für Märchen gehört, natürlich mit Happy End für alle. Und die Märchen-Anspielungen waren oft so deutlich, dass sogar ich sie bemerkt habe. Und dabei wirklich gut in die Geschichte eingewoben. Gegen Ende fand ich manche Kampfszenen zu ausführlich, deshalb gibt es keine 5 Sterne. Aber das ich sicher - wie alles - Geschmackssache... Trotzdem wirklich ein tolles Buch und eine klare Empfehlung!
Das war toll! Diesmal ist die Geschichte von Rapunzel inspiriert, und ich bin immer wieder begeistert von der Umsetzung! Und ich mag Thorne und Cress als Pärchen wirklich! Wie er sich immer schlecht macht, damit sie sich nur ja nicht verliebt. Und wie sie trotzdem schrecklich verliebt ist, dabei aber auch schrecklich schĂĽchtern... Ich finde die zwei echt sĂĽĂź! Und auch sonst ist die Geschichte klasse, in der Mitte fand ich es etwas langatmig, insgesamt geht es aber zĂĽgig voran. 4 Sterne fĂĽr diesen 3. Teil!… (more)
