Fairest is a prequel to Meyer’s bestselling Lunar Chronicles series, which includes…
You know, this city gets a lot of hate. And it’s not just from the outside, either. Recent transplants to Phoenix notice a trend when talking to the residents about their new home. The people who most often ask why a new resident would ever think to move here? Or…
