Eira has just been promised to a man she never met. As she thinks things cannot get worse, she is now accused by the Queen of having destroyed the Kingdom’s power grid. With no electricity and no phone, the Princess is on the run, as the entire Kingdom is blaming her. As she seems to be nowhere safe, who can she trust in her endangered journey to prove her innocence ?
Girl in the Snow is a very interesting Retelling Tale. I don’t think I will spoil anybody saying it is Snow White, as we can guess easily from the novel's title. Nicole Adrianne chose to turn it into a Dystopia. The story takes place in a not too distant future, about 80-100 years. Most of humanity died in a mysterious plague, and survivors are now living in different Kingdoms. As the story goes, we recognize the well-known main aspect of the Grimm’s tale : a sweet princess vs an evil step-mother.
Nicole Adrianne appropriated the story, making it her own. We rapidly forget the story source, as we follow the adventures of the intrepid Eira, her best friend Slater and her goofy fiancé Benedict. The horrible Queen Vespera is a perfect villain, tormenting in secret the population, but acting openly as a benevolent leader.
If you love Young Adult novels, Fairytale and Dystopia, you will surely enjoy this story. It is fun to read and the futuristic world is very well- constructed. I am surely looking forward reading the other titles of the series.
