I liked it, but I prefer the anime. The characters and the plot were more fleshed out, and the dialogue was more entertaining. It was also a bit difficult to keep track of who was talking, and some of the dialogue just felt a bit off. That said, it's the author's first book, and I want to see where the story goes after the end of the anime, so I'm going to keep reading. I also enjoyed the author's commentary. The art style is also really nice, and I liked that the author did so much background research. I was worried that Shirayuki would fall into the "not like other girls" trope, but that was not the case at all.

Slice of life about an aspiring court herbalist running from creepy captors who are obsessed with her hair color. Simultaneous cute and cringe. Cute because a romance is budding, but cringe because men want to capture a woman due to sexual attraction.
