I'm not much of a fantasy reader, so there are elements of this book that I didn't love just due to personal preference, but on the whole I really enjoyed it. I found it to be such an interesting reimagining of the Snow White story and loved its explorations of feminist themes and of Lynet and Mina's relationship (and also loved its explicit nods to the fairytale and to the reclaiming of both Lynet and Mina's characters and stories). The writing is also brilliantly vivid and I felt truly immersed in the world. I enjoyed the romantic subplot a lot as well! Just a really solid read overall :)

However, I did like the focus on the stepmother - stepdaughter relationship, and how the story revolved mostly around them and their ~magically created~ hearts. I enjoyed both POVs, especially Mina's leading up to her becoming Queen.
