Fairest of Them All

Summary
Ok so everyone knows the story of Snow White. Evil Queen slashes wicked stepmother wanted to be the fairest maiden in the land. Which jealousy and vanity lead to the queens hate for Snow White and thus wanting to kill her. Exactly how did this come about though? Rumors have speculated over some time but within this book tell the true tale of the evil queen.

Opinion
First off it’s a pretty easy read, meant for younger children. I just thought it looked interesting and it was at Disney World so hey why not! Anyways the story is very well plotted out. I actually liked the Queen and felt sympathetic with her. I was surprised that in the beginning she was extremely nice to Snow White who I thought since I was little hater her since they've met. Character development is also a plus with the 'Magic Mirror'. The dialogue was also fantastic, part of the story takes place during the movie. When the Queen spoke it was the exact words the Queen said in the movie! What really made me enjoy this book was the depth of the queen and how most girls can relate. Even though she was the prettiest maiden in the kingdom she felt insecure within herself because her father never loved her and always repeated that she was ugly. So I guess the reason she became so evil, was because of all the harbored insecurities she always face. Overall its phenomenal use of imagery and dialogue really blew me away. If you enjoyed Disney I would defiantly read it

 especially since its a short read!
