I'm happy to be a part of this blog tour for Melissa Lemon. If you love a good re-telling of an old fairy tale, you should check this book out. It puts a new twist on Snow White and those seven dwarfs.
In this book we see the story unfold from the magic mirror's point of view. It was an interesting way to tell the story. He can see anyone he wants at anytime as he has been placed in the mirror with a spell by the evil queen of Mayhem.
"Mirror, Mirror, in my hand. Lock your door: enslave this man. Ensure his lips speak only truth; keep lies behind tongue and tooth. Hold him there, no longer free. Until death take him or me."
Speaking of the queen, boy is she mean! Evil to the core.
I loved the places named Mischief and Mayhem. I loved the new take on the seven dwarfs. I loved the ending. It gave me a little surprise. :)
Snow Whyte and the Queen of Mayhem is an easy, gentle flowing book. It is a book I'm happy to pass off to my daughter and recommend to any fairy tale lover.

I think that this is an interesting take on the story. The mirror is such a big character and I don't think many people actually realize that, he gets more of an insight into the story. Glad to hear this one worked out for you!

ReplyDeleteI'm probably biased, since I'm a sucker for re-tellings, but Snow White from the mirror's perspective sounds awesome!
ReplyDeletethis sounds absolutely brilliant!
