✨ARC Review✨
❓What’s your favorite fairy tale?
This reimagining of Snow White is everything I needed to read right now. It’s a story where the sweet, docile princess finds her power has been within her all along.
In this world, the Prince does not kiss Snow awake. Twenty years after she bit into the poisoned apple and was interred in her glass coffin, she slowly awakes. She learns quickly that nothing in this world is as she left it. A dangerous blight (climate change, anyone) has ravaged the lands. The animals she used to sing to and frolic with have evolved into monstrous creatures.
In this new world, she is constantly in danger from the forest creatures and from the new Evil Queen. She has to stay a step ahead while also trying to figure out how she can become the Seasonkeeper and save their world.
I really enjoyed this retelling. It gave me a bit of hope in this dark week.
