I liked the concept of taking Disney characters and upgrading them to Disney fighters/guardians. I appreciated how the author chose diverse Disney characters to make up the gang of guardians, and how they reflect different backgrounds, worlds, perspectives, Disney films, and eras. The gentle humor throughout the book kept it alive and energetic. Snow White, as did a handful of the other guardians, developed well as characters.
While the writing was strong, it felt repetitious at times and was full of filler lines. The plot was intriguing, but it fell short of total distinctiveness and development for me. The plot surprise was anticipated from the start, and it felt rushed and as if it was done simply because of who the character was before joining the guardians.
I believe the book would have benefited greatly from visual aids such as photos or little drawings throughout to assist readers interact and understand the characters and situation. I also believe that the plot twist should have been handled differently to make it more distinctive to this universe and story. Other than that, I enjoyed the narrative but will not be continuing with the remainder of the series.
