[Kim Deister]

This novella was touted as a retelling/reimagining of the Snow White and Rose Red tale. That being said… the only reason I know this book was supposed to be that was that the cover told me so. There was nothing about the novella that spoke of that tale.

The plot was good, but there wasn’t enough information withheld from the reader to add any excitement. The villain was known from the first pages, eliminating any big climatic reveal. The story was fine; there just weren’t any twists to add to the anticipation.

In reality, I think more attention was placed on the two characters’ romantic arcs than on anything else. The rest was just there to support that. I would have liked it more if the romantic arcs were less dominant.
