One of the least twisted stories in the series so far! It stayed pretty true to Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. This warmed my heart as the story is so magical already it didn’t need much twisting. It was interesting to read about Snow’s mother and Ingrid and their childhood. I found it surprising how much I related to the Evil Queen and her backstory. She did indeed work hard for all she gained. I did find the ending a bit rushed. I wished there would have been a showdown between the Evil Queen and the Mirror where she had to destroy the one object that brought all of her desires to life and filled her with power. Overall, a good story. I disliked this particular author’s writing style compared to the other authors in the series. One paragraph could last an entire page and it made it seem so lengthy. It was hard to pay attention to and didn’t grasp my attention or imagination like the others did. Not looking forward to her other books in the series.
