Review of 'Snow Queen' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Although I am crazy about fairy tales and fairy tale retellings and have been since I was very young, this story was completely unfamiliar to me when I started it.

I was rather bemused at that, given it was one of those stories I had assumed I'd read at some point, and of course I've seen Frozen, so I figured that would give me some basic idea of the plot.

I was extremely wrong on both counts.

This is very much an old-fashioned fairy tale, which should be obvious given the author's name but one might be allowed some level of surprise given it is being announced as a new release. It is not; this is simply a lovely translated and illustrated version of a very old story: a story I liked quite a bit.

This isn't going to replace my favorite fairy tales, since I think at this point …
