Shadows on Snow: A Flipped Fairy Tale (Flipped… von Starla Huchton
This novel does a gender-reversal take on the story of Snow White. Instead of seven dwarves, there are seven disgraced princesses with magical powers, with the youngest on a mission to save a certain young prince. It's an interesting take on the traditional fairy tale and while it was okay as a read, I never felt truly invested in the characters and their fates.
The land, magic, elements etc were all fabulous but the love story just fell flat for me - I didn't really care about them either
So, I don’t think I can say enough good things about this book.
Candice loves everything about superheroes, and she can’t wait until she turns eighteen to sign up for the Angel project. When she’s accepted, it’s the thing of her dreams. Inside the experiment, she learns a lot about herself and those who were accepted alongside her. Her cousin, Gabe, introduces her to her soon to be lover, Adrian, and from there, Candice’s life is beautiful. When her powers start to come in, and she nears graduating from the program, things start to change. Evil isn’t a black and white concept. She’s about to learn just how many shades it comes it.
This story hit everything that I love about a YA book, not to mention the twist of an ending. This book was filled with beautiful characterization that had been wondering if the author based them off real people. The descriptions were well done, and the worldbuilding was fantastic. Not to mention the possible love triangle and real teenage angst. It was all so brilliantly done that I was legitimately sad when the book ended.
Great news though is that this is just the beginning of the series. I will definitely be continuing on to see what else poor Candy Cane will have to endure.
Narration was wonderfully done giving life to each of the characters in a way that further brought the story to life.
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
