There is something fun and original about this novella.  This being the first of the prequels to Snow White Sorrow, I was over the moon about getting my hands on it.  I mean I have only been drooling over that book for months!  I love the description and how the "Evil Queen" seems to not be all you believe her to be.  Yet there is some things that lead you to believe she is every bit as evil as first imagined.  However this is what some of us adore isn't it?This prequel kind of skims the surface of what you need to know about Snow White.  It also kind of gave me a fae feeling with the need to keep everyone's real name under wraps.  I know this is not the intent but it is once again the power of names right...  Basically the Evil Queen explains the need for hunting Snow White and also that she is not an evil step mother but her mother by birth.  We also get a more basic glimpse into how Snow White is not the innocent that we know her as.There is actually a lot of things I didn't expect to find in this little prequel that I did.  I love the darker and more twisted way that the Grimms immortals are portrayed.  From what I know of the originals they weren't the sweetdreams kind of tale to start.  I mean in the original Cinderella her step sisters cut off their toes and heels just to try and fit in the glass slipper!  Not anything you heard as a child right.  I am one to read something and see it for the story that is behind it and this has wonderful potential.  There are some grammar issues here and there but for the most part I found myself so submerged that I didn't notice.
