Thank you to Wednesday Books for the advance copy! 

First, I actually adored this book. It's a dark, twisty, YA retelling of Snow White that was really interesting. The world building was well done, and I am obsessed with Snow, who was strong, fierce, and brave. I loved the magic and the woodland creatures and was so intrigued by the blight and the relationships between the ruling families. It was also really fun that we got the mirror's perspective!

However, I feel like this book was really mismarketed, which threw off my expectations. This is advertised as a sapphic romance, but there is almost no romance in the book. Honestly, for most of the book I kept expecting Snow and Henrick to have a romance. There were two kisses toward the end, but they seemed to come out of nowhere since Snow and Iliana had very little interactions. 

There are some hints that there will be additional books, and I would definitely pick them up!
