I received an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.When I read the synopsis of this book, I thought I had a general idea of what I was going to be reading. Boy was I wrong. This book goes deeper than I expected, and you see more into what happens to Snow White throughout her life.David Meredith does such a fantastic job of pulling you into the story, that you almost feel what Snow White goes through. You are there with her, dealing with everything that’s thrown her way.When you first meet Snow White, she is deeply depressed and can’t even get excited about her own daughter’s wedding, something she should be elated about. Instead she hides away from people because she can’t seem to keep up the act that others expect of her. Then one day she does to the one place she knows no one will follow here, Queen Arglist’s quarters. There she finds the famous “magic mirror” and from there you are taken through a very emotional rollercoaster.The mirror encourages Snow White to look into its depths to help her overcome the feelings she’s been having. At first, Snow White is reluctant, what can this mirror show her what she doesn’t already see. She soon realizes how wrong she was, and she’s taken back to her past and lives through each horrible experience and happy memory she’s had.  You are taken through Snow White’s journey of when she was a little girl, all the way to her marriage to Charming and her pregnancy.Will Snow White be able to see how much happiness she could have if she would focus on what’s going on now instead of the past? Or will she continue on her path of despair and end up doing something she’ll forever regret?
