Snow: A Retelling of "snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" by Tracy Lynn
3.0
Okay so I found this book interesting but also boring. I just felt there were some parts that wouldn’t have made a difference if it were out of the story.
What’s interesting is it’s like Snow White but completely different which I loved. Instead of an apple and the step mother being a witch the Stepmother is a scientist, which is pretty cool even if some of it was a bit crazy. She is trying to make a son since she is past child bearing years and the duke needs a son because women just can’t rule, it’s not allowed. The assistant/fiddler boy helps snow escape before the duchess is able to kill her. She believes eating Snow’s heart will help her create a son. While she’s in hiding in London, Snow is taken in by this group called the Lonely Ones who we find out later were actually created by the Duchess while she was trying to create a son. There are 5 of them and they’re all half human half animal, so they only make appearances at night.
I was really hoping she would end up with Raven at the end, the ending kind of hints that they are together just not officially married. They end up taking a tour around Europe in the end.
