I’m currently reading Fairest by Marissa Meyer. It’s book 3.5 in the Lunar Chronicles and tells the story of Queen Levana who, for those unfamiliar with the series, is based on the evil queen from Snow White and has a bit of a thing about mirrors. I have to admit to having a little bit of sympathy for her as she doesn’t have an easy time of it but not sure it really justifies her actions. Anyway, here’s this weeks teaser.
My Teaser
The yearning grew quietly at first, taking the place in her belly where a child should have been. It thrived somewhere so deep inside her she hadn’t even known it existed until one day she looked up at the planet hanging, mocking her, just out of reach, and she almost fell to her knees with the strength of her want.

Happy reading everyone.

This sounds a really intriguing one – how are you getting on with it? I very much like the idea of seeing the issue from the antagonist’s viewpoint. This is my teaser, still fantasy, but with a bit more nightlife…

Finished it last night and really enjoyed it. I did cry towards the end even though she was pretty bad. I’ll cry at more or less anything though.

I guess from the description is fantasy in space more than SF – how is it? This is mine: http://earthianhivemind.net/2016/02/09/teaser-tuesday-february-9/

Will need to go take a look. I’ve had the Giver on my probably should read list for ages.

Great teaser! This one was my favorite of the ‘novellas’; I agree that sometimes it’s hard not to feel sorry for Levana with all that she’s been through as a kid.

Great teaser! I love love this series, and Fairest was definitely a nice addition! I liked that we got to know more about her past (though totally agree, definitely doesn’t justify her actions!)
