Fairest of All

"Honestly, great story. The ending felt rushed. Meaning I wish the book was bigger. But good read overall. "

"Really good kept me engaged through the hole thing was not to slow and not to fast just right"

"It was a good back story/retelling of Snow White. Giving you more thought into the Queens side. It has jealousy and dealing with grieving and loss. I really enjoyed the ending. "

"Absolutely Amazing! Love the way the author portrayed her story all the way up to the Disney movie"

"I enjoyed reading from the Queen’s POV… seeing her relationship with the King … loving relationship with Snow at first. Then seeing her break to become the Evil Queen of Disney we recognize. And the little twist at the end makes me wonder if corruption will continue or if an unusual relationship will develop."

"View review on my blog <a href="https://www.thedisneyreader.com/post/fairest-of-all">here</a>.<br/><br/><b>My First Impression</b><br/><br/>I was very excited about this series before I even started reading it! I think there were at least 7 or 8 books in the series already published when I discovered them. It was very intriguing to see the stories from the perspectives of the villains, especially since I love books with alternate histories or perspectives.<br/><br/>I will admit that Snow White was never my favorite Disney story. I enjoyed it, but it just wasn't my favorite. Having seen the other books in the series, I was very excited for the Maleficent one since Sleeping Beauty has always been my favorite! However, seeing as that is book 4 in the series, the first thing I searched was "Does this series need to be read in order?" I was a little bit bummed to see that the answer was yes, but that just meant that I'd read all the books for sure! While each book retells its own Disney classic, some pieces make the whole world intertwine. At least, that is how I understood it.<br/><br/><b>Getting Reading</b><br/><br/>As I began reading the book, I was immediately sucked in. The writing was easy to follow and they dove right into the Queen and her story. I enjoyed the plot since it felt like it added more human traits to the queen, and tells the story from before she met the king through the end of the Snow White tale we all know and love.<br/><br/>In addition to making the queen feel more human, some really cool concepts were introduced about the mirror that made it very interesting. I also really enjoyed finding little easter eggs about other Disney stories which I did not expect in the first book yet.<br/><br/>The pacing of the book was also really good. It wasn't too fast, wasn't too slow.<br/><br/><b>Final Thoughts</b><br/><br/>I think this book was written for the Young Adult genre, but I still found it enjoyable as an adult reading it for the first time. I think it will be great for teens and young adults who like Disney, or an adult who likes Disney and wants an easier read.<br/><br/>Overall, good writing, a good pace, and an engaging plot that was fun and easy to read!"

"<strong>Great book. </strong><br/><br/>I absolutely loved this book!! It was amazing seeing how the story came to be from the Queens side. Would definitely recommend."

"Are you a fan of Snow White and the Seven Drawfs or Once Upon A Time?<br/><br/>Always wanted to know what made the Queen the way she was?<br/><br/>Then this book may just be for you!<br/><br/>What I liked:<br/>-This part of the Disney world!<br/>-the relationship between Snow and the Queen<br/><br/>What I Didn't Like:<br/>-The lack of character development<br/>-No name for the queen<br/>-no bridge between book and movie<br/><br/>The rest of this review can be found at <a href="https://ebookreview.dreamwidth.org/45346.html">The Book Review</a>"

"3.75"

"<strong>Beautiful Story of the Wicked Queen </strong><br/><br/>This book deserves a 5 star rating because of its wonderful twist on the well known story of Snow White. This story brings to life the Queens point of view and gives reasons to why she poisoned Snow. The ending was unexpected and a great ending to a sad story. I loved it and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys the Disney movie of Snow White."
