This was kinda of a confusing story for me. I really loved the prose, but the rest just seemed quite hard too follow and it ended way to fast and easy for the bluid up. Still, not bad, I enjoyed most of it

I received an ARC of this book from Puskin Children's Books via Netgalley in exchange for a review.
I can't believe I hadn't read this story before! I really enjoyed it and thought it was neat to see elements of this story that have been used since in many other "classic" tales. The only critique I had was that I thought the illustrations would be different, more like a child's story book. While they are nice, they are black and white and few and far between. Considering how gorgeous the cover of this book is, I would have liked more pictures to go with this tale.

La reina de las nieves es un cuento de hadas escrito por Hans Christian Andersen y publicado por primera vez en 1844. Es uno de los cuentos más populares y conocidos de Andersen, y ha sido adaptado a numerosas obras de teatro, películas, ballets y óperas.
La historia cuenta la aventura de Gerda, una niña que emprende un viaje para rescatar a su amigo Kay, que ha sido secuestrado por la reina de las nieves. Gerda se enfrenta a numerosos peligros en su camino, pero su amor por Kay la impulsa a seguir adelante.
El cuento es una metáfora del amor, la amistad y la perseverancia. La reina de las nieves representa el mal y la tentación, mientras que Gerda representa el bien y la fuerza del amor.

The Snow Queen was mt very favorite fairy tale as a little girl. There was a movie version if it that I used to watch a lot but for the life of me I cannot remember which one it was...It was animated, I know that.
Anyway, I was in love with this story as a little girl. The idea recently came to me that I wanted to do a retelling of it. So of course, I had to read the original story again. I actually listened to the audio of it. I loved the story just as much as when I was younger. It is still my favorite and I can bet it will remain my favorite fairy tale. I love the message behind it and the magical feel behind it. I know it's a fairy tale so of course it has a magical feel. But if you've read it, you probably know what I mean. Actually, a character in The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe reminds me very much of The Snow Queen. The message is beautiful. To keep it short: I love it!! Five quills!!
