A book review I can see!
The Shadow Queen by C.J. Redwine. This book is a really interesting retelling of Snow White. Except Snow White is named Lorelai and is also an Enchantress like the evil queen. Oh and prince charming? He's a King named Kol who can turn into a dragon... the dwarves are dragons too, it's a little complicated unless you read it.
All in all I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it is action packed from the beginning without being monotonous with a hint of danger from Ogres in another part of the kingdom, but that is not the main issue. No... Just don't eat the apples! Seriously, this book takes apples being bad for you to a whole new level! They are rotten and enslave your mind and will to that of the evil queen Irina.
Lately the majority of retellings have made the main female a bit more badass and powerful. This book was released in February of this year and it sticks to the new cliche. Despite this however, it gives a new perspective on the scenario, it's a story of "What if this had happened instead?"
To be honest, I'll be back to freaky fairy-tales next Thursday, unless I've read another awesome book that day. We'll see!
