Fairest is a prequel to Marissa Meyer's Lunar Chronicles. According to Marissa Meyer's this is meant to be read after Winter - I agree,I do not recommend reading this until you have finished the series, it is a good stand alone book but has spoilers to the series. I did have a harder time getting into this book than with The Lunar Chronicles, Levana is a sad character with a sad backstory. Lunar court is filled with cruel, power hungry, awful people; Levana's parents and older sister included. Fairest essentially follows Levana as she changes from a sad, abused, child with no empathy to a Machiavellian like ruler who cannot understand why people don't like how she treats them. It felt like being inside the mind of a sociopath. Despite that, the story was still gripping and kept all the same great story development and intrigue of The Lunar Chronicles.
