first of all, the blurb by itself draws you in, which made me instantly want to read this book!
“Beautiful Sophie, with lips as red as blood, skin as pale as snow, and hair as dark as night, is about to come of age and inherit her father's throne. But Sophie's stepmother wants rid of her - beautiful she may be, but too weak and foolish to reign. And Sophie believes her, as she believes all the things that have been said about her - all the poisonous words people use to keep girls like her from becoming too powerful, too strong.
When the huntsman carries out his orders of killing Sophie, she finds a fire burning inside her that will not be extinguished, and sets off to reclaim what was taken from her.”
i love fairytale re-tellings, they are one of my favourite tropes! snow white is not actually up there with my favourite stories, however i really really enjoyed this book!
