When starting the book I was hoping that it would humanize Levana a little bit and make us like her more, but I was wrong. It was annoying because I feel that when you are reading about a villain you want to know what events led to them Losing their humanity, but it seemed Levana never had any.

The story slowly shows us how her upbringing and trauma slowly drives her to make questionable and awful decisions that eventually lead her into becoming the Levana you know from the main series.
It also shows us what Lunar is like when not actively at war with Earth and the values that they hold.
The novella does really well to add to the series for both Levana as a character but also to the Lunar culture.
