Once upon a time, a girl named Sophie rode into the forest with the queen's huntsman.

I love a good retelling. The classic of the tale of Snow White written in a beautiful way. Although I found the first few pages a bit slow, it gradually picked up and then I was caught up in the world of wonders. The characters including the Queen and Sophie, aka Snow White, caught my interest. From the first few pages, you already learn things about characters that show just how different they are. Sophie was always told that her kindness was weakness. The queen however is portrayed as a merciless ruler, much different from her step daughter Sophie. The characters provide an exciting and intriguing story. The feminist spin of this retelling is a wonderful addition which was brilliant to see. Although my to-be-read list is way too long already this will be added. I would certainly recommend giving this book a try!
