I didn't really care for this book. As a Snow White retelling it is okay, my mine issue is with the main character. She is so perfect that I didn't find her to be relatable or interesting. This fits with Snow White, she kind of is known for being pure as Snow. But, something was needed to make me actually care about her. Some of the other characters were stereotypical, there isn't much to them.

I have 2 books I have chosen for the Snow White retelling: The Fairest Beauty by Melanie Dickerson and The Sleeper and The Spindle by Neil Gaiman. Just finished listening to the tagged book. It was retold from an interesting perspective. It was very faith-infused which I appreciated but I know not all would, which is why I mention it. #3 #BookSpinBingo #23 #BFC22 #JUMPSTART2022 #FAIRYTALECHALLENGE #Pantone2022ColourChallenge Poinciana #Wintercosy

Is that apple in her hand #poison-ed? 🤷🏼‍♀️ I don‘t remember how it plays out, but I do remember enjoying this Snow White retelling.
