Review: Many
have said this is supposed to be Amanda Hocking's best work yet, and as a fan of
her YA books, I would disagree. I did enjoy reading it, but it seriously only
took me a little shy of two hours to finish it all. While the storyline was
good and creative, it was also incredibly rushed and I felt as though the book
itself was juvenile. I did, however, love her Snow White references and
details, it gave it a little something extra. I think one of the biggest
problems is that there is a disconnect with the characters, you don't really
get attached to any of them like in the rest of her books. Despite all the issues I had with this one, I do suggest giving it a read!
