Snow White and The Huntsman: A Novel by Lily Blake

A few days I finished reading the novelization of Snow White and The Huntsman by Lily Blake and to be perfectly honest I found that I really enjoyed this book, despite the fact that the heroine is shown as more of a Joan of Arc then the traditional princess in distress: which I don't think is a bad thing expect when after Snow escapes the Queen's prison she suddenly starts acting all snooty when she meets Eric the Huntsman.

Which to me didn't make any sense because she's suppose to be kind and all that but when they met for the first time she seems to have an air of distain when Eric tells who he is (ok, it certainly didn't help that he was drunk and spelt mead or something like that down his shirt- but I digress.)

However, I thought the best parts of the book had to deal with the Queen and her brother. I thought their backstory and the reason she sat out to be Queen was done very well. And yes, I thought the death scene with the brother was very sad. Just not sad enough to make me want to forgive her anytime soon. Still I like her even through I didn't expect to.

And yes without giving too much away we all know what happens in the end. I still think this book is worth checking out. So I'd give it a C+

author: b, genre: fantasy, review
