This book to me felt very middle grade. Like something I would read when I was in middle school. The writing style gives me a younger audience sort of feel. Which is fine, there is nothing wrong with that. The plot itself has a lot of potential, though I was a little confused as to the point of view in the beginning. But I eventually figure it out. I do love a good fairytale retelling and this one is going places.
I really liked that it's told from the huntsman's point of view instead of being entirely based around Snow White or "Sophie". I did really enjoy that.
What has concerned me about Sophie is that she has no political experience whatsoever. She is going to need that in order to rule. And I know that the queen is going to be there to help, but as we all know, she isn't really the nicest person on the planet. She does seem very skilled at horseriding, but that is all she can really do. I'm wondering if she will gain most of her skills throughout the rest of the book or if she gets help along the way.
Overall I think it is a very good book with a ton of potential. I can't wait to read more.
