The art is absolutely stunning. The fact that its hand drawn and painted adding to that.

The story, while a compelling thought exercise, wasnt working for me and I couldn't figure out why. I loved the magic of the queen, but the age she is at the beginning and the alluding to her using a glamor to get the king, followed by the age of snow white (13 at the oldest) and how sexualized she is was rubbing me the wrong way. I found someone in the reviews put their finger on it, it came off as edgy for the sake of edgy.

Rating and reviewing this is complicated. I really liked the plot, but nothing about the premise prepared me for the explicit scenes found on several pages throughout the story. Far from Disney's Snow White, I do love the concept of the princess as a vampire and would be happy to read a full-length novel of that variation or even see a movie (done well with top graphics fitting to the dark, fairy tale vibe). The narrative is told through the stepmother's perspective, and she is not evil at all. She recounts the events in a captivating way up to her ending. The artwork is beautiful, even for the spicy scenes I did not expect to find.
