Queen Snow White has found her happily ever after with
Prince Charming, that is until he passes away leaving her alone with their
daughter Princess Raven. It is the
night before Raven is to get married and Snow White is dwelling on all she has
lost, not able to help her daughter get ready for her wedding or ease any of
her fears and nerves. In trying to lose
herself in the castle, she ends up in the tower used by her stepmother and
finds the magic mirror. It shows her all
that Snow White has forgotten and that has made her who is she is today…The
Queen.
My Review:
This is an adult fairy tale. It is the story of an adult and very unhappy
Snow White. The Reflections of Queen
Snow White deals with depression after suffering the loss of a spouse. I wasn’t sure what I would think of this
book. I love all things Disney,
including Snow White, and was unsure if I wanted to read about a sad Snow
White. Although most of the story was
sad and depressing, it was also interesting to hear about her past, the past
that wasn’t covered in the movie, and how it formed the woman she is
today. We all know of the Wicked Queen
sending her away, the huntsman who is to kill her, the dwarfs that help take
care of her, and of course Prince Charming coming to save her. This is so much more. It tells of how the Wicked Queen actually
treated her, it tells of the damage that treatment and the loss of her parents
truly affected her.
Once I started this book I could not put it down. I was hoping for another happily ever after
for Snow White, but was truly unsure if it was going to happen. There was really only two ways for this book
to end, happy or sad. I absolutely
recommend this book to any fairy tale lover.
You will not be sorry that you read this book. It is a story that I will share with my book
club and my friends.
