Snow White but darker
For someone so gentle and nurturing, Snoe seems to delight in suffering and murder. I'm not going to lie and say that this wasn't well written, but some of these topics are at the border of what I can read myself.
It's quite imaginative to make Snoe a witch prince and the dwarves to be instead seven demon wolves. Of course, each with a different name to the dwarves in the original fairy tale, but still quite recognisable in their personalities. Besides their glee for the hunt and the kill, I do kind of like them, I have to admit.
There seems to be something going on between Snoe and Ezyrah. I feel like not everything was mentioned, and I kind of want to know their history, and what happens to them after all this (they're not actually together, but it does seem to hint heavily that there is something between them).
