I was excited to read this as I adore Sisters Red.
As most probably know, this is a retelling of "The Snow Queen". We have the pair Kai and Ginny. Childhood friends turned couple and Mora the one who comes between. I admit I pictured Mora as Elsa from Frozen. It must have been a challenge to reimagine the characters and the setting.
Mora was not who I thought she was. No spoilers though.
Honestly I felt that how Lucas and Ella took Ginny in was unrealistic. I certainly like the twist in who Mora was. Ginny annoyed me at first because everything was about Kai but she grew in the course of the book. Found herself and strength. I like the determination she had. The Travellers were a nice addition and how they are like gypsies. The characters were not one dimensional. Most importantly, I liked that I got to know why Mora did what she did and that she is a insecure little girl on the inside.
I think that the fact that Ginny and Kai learned to live apart in the end was great. Often for these stories, the couple want to be glued to each other and obsess about each other.
I liked this. Definitely for fans of Sisters Red and Fathomless.
