With the main characters Luke and Leia, I can understand the confusion about how it's about love and being compared to Star Wars. As any Star Wars fan knows Luke and Leia are brother and sister, not boyfriend and girlfriend, but in this book Luke and Leia are drawn together. Luke is a freshmen in college and is taking a film studies class. Leia is also in the same film studies class and gets partnered up with Luke and they totally hit it off. Through some ups and down throughout the book Luke and Leia become closer and closer. This is a sweet book and at some points slightly odd but it is very good. I recommend it to anyone that likes a good non-traditional love story.

Although this was written before Winter came out it isn't crucial that it is read before you read Winter. This book is all about Queen Levana, and I know she's not a very likable person, in fact until I read this book I didn't like her at all. Fairest is all about Levana and Channary, and everything that happens before Cinder even starts. You learn more about what Princess Channary was like and how Levana came to the thrown. Many people are skeptical of stories like this but if you are a true fan of The Lunar Chronicles you will enjoy this book. It truly gives an outlook on a misunderstood villain without giving away anything about Winter.

Letters from Peyton is a great short story that makes a good quick read. Peyton is just a normal girl who happens to get brain cancer. Through letters to god (although this isn't a religious story) you learn about Peyton's diagnosis, and treatment. She falls in love with a boy named Cody and although it is short lived it is cute and sweet. Even though this story is short it is well developed and thought out. I am a sucker for sudden tragic endings and this has just that. If you don't like sudden or tragic endings this is not the story for you. It is a great story and a fast read.
