zabbelinha 's review for:
Poison
by Sarah Pinborough
What can I say?
I wanted the story to be great, and that it would live up to the level of expectations created by blurb. But no ... We have a poorly developed story and hollow characters.
The Queen had so much potential ... If history were always seen from her point of view, and it was explained why she had become so bad it would be a good re-telling the story of Snow White. Initially all that the Queen does is caused by jealousy not by malice... We don't get to see why suddenly she wants Snow's heart (and death)... It makes no sense !
As for Snow White herself ... She's a beautiful spoiled girl who hasn't the slightest notion of what is expected of her and can't even put herself in someone else's shoes! I don't like her character! And what about the fact that she has to escape the queen and makes a huge fuss when she marries the prince? What the hell??
Dwarves are the characters that I liked best even though I don't love them...
I can say I expected much more from this book... And I sincerely hope that the other two are much better, otherwise I'm gonna cry the money I gave for them!
