The author took the original story and really made it her own. I 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 Mina. I liked her relationship with Lynet, though it got a little messy when Lynet’s trust was broken. Also, I didn’t love it, but I did like Lynet’s romance, it was pretty cute. I just wish I liked Lynet as a character more like I did Mina, but oh well. Overall, this is a great book and I’m glad I got the chance to read it. ( ) This fairy tale retelling of “Snow White” is completely captivating, told from the dual perspectives of Mira and Linnet, two girls who’ve had their lives forever changed by one sorcerer. A queen and stepmother put into place in a palace. A young girl who longs to know about herself and her mother. I love the way the author crafts each character so delicately, weaving backstory so that each is so completely relatable and sympathetic. There are so many shades of gray in this tale. And as the tale progresses, I love how the author so carefully paints her characters and makes sure we understand their motivations. You see in the queen, not the evil Disney figure, but a girl who felt lost and hopeless and just wanted to be loved, even as she does despicable things. It’s a wonderful retelling for that aspect alone, along with the gorgeous prose and beautiful imagery. I love the way that it follows other traditional tellings of Snow White in some ways, and yet spins off and makes the story something entirely new. This was absolutely a delight. Please excuse typos/name misspellings. Entered on screen reader. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

"At sixteen, Mina's mother is dead, her magician father is vicious, and her silent heart has never beat with love for anyone--has never beat at all, in fact, but she'd always thought that fact normal. She never guessed that her father cut out her heart and replaced it with one of glass. When she moves to Whitespring Castle and sees its king for the first time, Mina forms a plan: win the king's heart with her beauty, become queen, and finally know love. The only catch is that she'll have to become a stepmother. Fifteen-year-old Lynet looks just like her late mother, and one day she discovers why: a magician created her out of snow in the dead queen's image, at her father's order. But despite being the dead queen made flesh, Lynet would rather be like her fierce and regal stepmother, Mina. She gets her wish when her father makes Lynet queen of the southern territories, displacing Mina. Now Mina is starting to look at Lynet with something like hatred, and Lynet must decide what to do--and who to be--to win back the only mother she's ever known...or else defeat her once and for all. Entwining the stories of both Lynet and Mina in the past and present, Girls Made of Snow and Glass traces the relationship of two young women doomed to be rivals from the start. Only one can win all, while the other must lose everything--unless both can find a way to reshape themselves and their story"-- Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
