A review by loreofthebooks
Dark Shimmer by Donna Jo Napoli
3.0
A really interesting take on an old tale. It had darker fairytale aspects, and the characters were often morally grey at first.
Napoli's writing is great -- she has a way with words that make them come alive.
I really enjoyed reading about the characters "backstories" and how they got to be who they are in the fairytales we know.
Overall a dark telling of a fairytale that young adults and teens will all enjoy.
