Sorry I haven't updated my blog for a while, I've been really busy with homework and have had hardly no time for reading! So, my friend gave me this book for my birthday a while ago and I just read it! It was amazing!
Story:
We all know the story of Snow White. How she was forced to work by her cruel stepmother, narrowly avoided being killed and met the seven dwarfs. And of course, how she was woken from an evil spell by true loves kiss. But has anyone ever wondered why the wicked queen did it? Sure, Snow white was more beautiful than she was, but surely there's more to the story? Fairest of All tells the story of the wicked queen. It all started when she met the king and fell in love outside her fathers mirror shop. They get married and she becomes Snow's stepmother. She and Snow love each other beyond imagination, they spend days together while the king is away at battle telling stories or wandering through the woods. But when the news that the king perished in battle reaches them the queen changes. She becomes cold and closed off, only interacting with the magic mirror, a gift from three of the kings strange cousins. She becomes addicted to the mirror, craving the time when it would tell her how beautiful she was. And, if at any time the mirror says someone else is more beautiful she finds a way to banish them from the kingdom. Or worse.
Fairest of All is a great book that I had a hard time putting down. It gets a five out of five stars in my opinion, check it out!
Thanks for reading!
