I got this book through NetGalley to review. This book started a bit slow but picked up a lot around page 80 or so. I ended up being really drawn into the story. This is a retelling of Snow White that was done in a very smart and compelling way.
There are a lot of strong female characters in here but I loved how real they seemed. The majority of characters really aren't good or evil they are just struggling to make it through their lives doing what they think is right.
The writing is beautifully done and makes it easy to imagine the surroundings and characters; it's a very beautiful story. I also loved some of the twists to the story and how the ending was done; it had such a hopeful feel to it.
Overall this was a beautiful and complex retelling of Snow White. The story has a wonderful dark fantasy fairytale feel to it and the characters are amazing. Even though the story started out slow I ended up being really impressed by the end. I will definitely be keeping an eye out for books by Bashardoust in the future.
