“Rebecca Soler begins in a tentative, youthful tone that emphasizes Levana’s emotional vulnerability. Ashamed of her disfigurement, Levana makes herself glamorous, though her appearance cannot win the love of the man she desires. Soler’s tone slowly hardens as Levana takes on the life she feels she deserves. As Levana’s manipulative talents grow, Soler moderates her narration, allowing Meyer’s story to unfold slowly. Fans of Meyer’s other books will find themselves truly absorbed as Levana grows into the evil Lunar Queen who later attempts to conquer Earth.”
