It's not the best of the series.. it was just okay. I wish more time was dedicated to understanding the villain/her motives. She seemed like a one dimensional cardboard cutout.

Both for Cellier’s books and Snow White retellings as a whole, this was a surprisingly good read! While I’ve enjoyed Cellier and fairy tale retellings alike for a mindless read, this was the first of either that I really engaged with as I read. Normally I don’t connect with Snow White as a character, but Blanche was an enjoyable protagonist with a surprising personality. The romance was highly predictable, but I was able to enjoy it to an extent. I do wish a bit more time had been spent with the stand ins for the seven dwarves, who were very much shunted to the side shortly after they made their appearance, but I also enjoyed the direction Cellier decided to take with them. Despite tying into the series as it should, I felt that this book was really the most stand alone installment and I enjoyed it all the more for that aspect.

I've enjoyed this series quite a bit in general, and this book specifically had a lot of great themes in it. The things that Snow dealt with as she had to figure out becoming a queen and what that should look like were a lot of the same things that we all deal with in different ways as we figure out becoming adults. Plus, I love a good best-friends-to-falling-in-love story.
There are a couple of kisses, but nothing that I would consider concerning content for any age. (There are children in danger a couple of times, but in my experience adults are a lot more disturbed by that than children are.)
