Mirrors and Pearls: A Retelling of Snow White by Lea Doué
4.0
3.75 stars // read May 2021
My favorite part was how this book took the traditional elements of the story and gave them really unique twists (for example, the mirror and Snow White's appearance) as well as throwing in a talking squirrel and dragons for good measure. :P I also liked that the fairies take wishes so literally. The story itself could've been expanded more- maybe not a full-blown novel, but longer than the current length. The characters themselves were interesting but maybe not the most memorable. Overall, a fun, original SW retelling that can be read in less than an hour.
Content: None/Mild.
