I thought this was a very interesting retelling of a Disney classic fairy tale. I thought Jen Calonita handle this fairy tale really well and made it someone new whilst keeping to the core of the original classic.
I really enjoyed the dual POV of Snow White and the Evil Queen. It was used well to highlight similarities in their lives and the differences too. It was used really well to help highlight certain aspects of the story. I liked that we also got some backstory and insight into the Evil Queen but wished you could have her fleshed out more.

Overall the story was entertaining and enjoyable.
