For Readers Interested In: 2sLGBTQ+, Audible, Audio, Fantasy, Sparkly Covers, Most Anticipated, YAIn this sapphic Snow White retelling, if Snow is to save her kingdom from being ravaged by the Blight, she’ll have to kill the Evil Queen’s daughter…if she doesn’t fall in love with her first.
When her glass coffin unexpectedly shatters, Snow White awakens to anything but a dream. The land is rotting. The animals have mutated. In the twenty years that have passed since Snow bit into the poisoned apple, the kingdom of Roanfrost has transformed from a luscious wild land to a blight-ravaged nightmare. In search of answers and a way to restore her kingdom to its former glory, Snow sets out on a dangerous journey that will test the strength she never knew she had.
Friends will become foes.
New alliances will form.
The Queen with the blood red lips will stop at nothing to seize her power as well as her heart.
If Snow has any chance to survive and restore not only her kingdom, but all of Garedenne, her only option is to become the Seasonkeeper and access the life-giving magic that will heal the plague. But the path to becoming the Seasonkeeper is more treacherous than she could ever imagine—because the wild things have awakened and Snow’s darker impulses yearn to set them free.
*MY THOUGHTS*
Ok so when I saw this cover I didn’t care what this was about lol But then I saw that it was a fairy tale retelling and I immediately needed it. Especially since this isn’t a direct re-telling.
Ok so when I say it wasn’t a direct re-telling, it was only because of the different places across the land. But I think that part was better than nothing. I don’t love that we don’t get that info from the regular story. And there’s also the dude that she finds. And the dwarves……… Yeah we won’t talk about them. Let’s just say, this is a dark re-telling and it’s not the one you’re used to.
One thing I didn’t like was the fact that it was marketed as a wlw romance to me. And there is that in the book, but there was like 30 minutes left in the book. And it wasn’t a real kiss? It was during a fight? Idk. When I saw sapphic and wlw I wanted to see this happen throughout the whole book. Or at least more than just 30 minutes. The dang book was like 15 hours long.
The fantasy element was a nice touch. I love the idea of elemental magic. I do wish we could have seen the other places tho. I think it would be cool if Hannah did the other fairy tales in those lands. Hopefully everything is going back to normal after the ending of this. Because let’s be real…. I need to know what that ending meant and I need to know why Mirror was Mirroring like that lmao (IYKYK)
This was good, but I think it missed the mark in a few places. But even still, I still enjoyed it. Enough to warrant a want to read for the next book. Because there IS A SEQUEL RIGHT? There better lol
Overall, I give this
