Fairest Son by H.S.J. Williams
5.0
5*
What a delightful little story!
This was very interesting because it is a retelling of Snow White with swapped genders, but it can also be an allegory for Christ. Whether you are a believer or not, I think this made the book even better because it added a deeper layer to the story, as well as intertextuality. It's very clever.
The characters were complex and interesting, despite the short lenght of the book and the author did a really good job in capturing real goodness with her character, which ties in with the allegory present in this story.
This book was overall very well crafted. The story didn't feel too short or too underdeveloped. It was just right and I really enjoyed the writing style. This was beautiful and unique. It's a gem of a book and I'm glad I found it.
