A Dream of Ebony and White: A Retelling of Snow White by Melanie Cellier
5.0
As I already hoped, I liked Blanche, Snow for close friends and family, a lot better than Celine and from the very first page until the very last one I enjoyed her story so incredibly much! Maybe Snow wasn't the bravest character I've ever read about and maybe she wasn't good with brute force and maybe she also didn't always do the right thing. But she was so beautifully human and watching her grow into her role as the future queen was such a wonderful experience!
When we met Snow her father had just died and her best friend, Alexander, rushes her out of her room to escape the death that's waiting for her. At that moment Snow is shy, insecure and she knows next to nothing about survival, fighting, climbing and everything else she will actually need to survive. It's an amazing starting point for a story and it's even more amazing to see this shy girl grow into the person she becomes eventually.
This books once more, just like the previous books, has it all. Of course the backbone is the story of Snow White and this book contains all the key elements. The haunted forest, the small cabin, seven kids ("what did you expect? Dwarves?") sheltering her and warming up to her, a handsome and brave huntsman, the magic mirror and of course a poisoned apple. And then some more elements were added: Political suspense, betrayal, courts, secrets and hours and hours of self defence training sessions!
At the moment this is the last book published in this series, but two more will be released this year and I'm really looking forward to them!
