A Dream of Ebony and White: A Retelling of Snow White by Melanie Cellier

4.0

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.
