challenging dark sad fast-paced

1.0

This is one of the stupidest, grossest, most offensive things I’ve ever read. It is pointless, gratuitous, and horribly written. The art is fine, but the writing is not only mediocre and awkward, but seems like it was written by AI. While Snow White may be a monster in this retelling, she is still only a girl of six and later twelve years of age, and she is constantly sexualized and demeaned (in addition to being depicted instigating sexual acts with grown men, including her father!) and don’t even get me started on the necrophilia scene. Besides this, the book was also demeaning to disabled people, describing the forest people as misshapen, stunted, greedy idiots, and overall demeaning to women in general (no woman, alone and naked in her bedroom, would ever think “if a man were in my room spying on me right now, he would be aroused by my naked body!”). I can’t believe this was allowed to be published.

dark tense

4.0

saw some uptight lady say on goodreads that it misleads as for kids and promots SA (and framed all this by talking about how she wants gaiman to whisper his stories while she sucks on his ears?) so its a 4 star for me lads, very dark and gothic.

Honestly I really enjoyed this. The tone is a lot different from what I usually read, but I love how it's completely from the Queen's POV. The story flowed beautifully, and I really enjoyed the ending. The notes from Colleen Doran at the end were interesting, along with the sketches she shares in them. Overall, I really enjoyed this.
