I liked this book. It was an interesting take on the Snow White story. I liked how it wasn’t just a retelling of the tale – Snow White was the basis, but the rest of the story was its own. It was fast paced with lots of action and exciting plot twists; I also liked the characters and their struggles. Well-written and highly engaging, I absolutely recommend it to teen readers who want action with a touch of romance.
