ausfangirlreads 's review for:
Mirror, Mirror
by Jen Calonita
I was sent a copy of this book from Scholastic Australia in exchange for an honest review.
“Futures change depending on who tries to change them.”
Mirror, Mirror is a retelling of the popular Disney story Snow White, but with a twist, and no I’m not talking about an M. Night Shyamalan kind of twist. Those can be random and sometimes not good, but we don’t judge here!
The twist in Mirror, Mirror is told in the tag line on the cover of the book:
What if the Evil Queen poisoned the Prince?
It’s an interesting Idea, right?
What if instead of Snow White being poised, her prince charming was poisoned in her place. It was such an interesting idea that I was so excited to get into this book just to see how it all played out, and boy was I pleased with how it did!
I really liked the writing style in Mirror, Mirror, it was an easy read but was descriptive enough to really capture my imagination. As this book was a retelling of a movie, I found myself referring to the character designs in my brain while reading which, I found made the whole experience different from reading other books.
I loved how we swapped perspectives during the book, at some points were with Snow and at others we were with the Evil Queen herself, Ingrid, which I will admit were some of my favourite chapters.
I am a huge villain sympathiser, and always enjoy getting a back story for villains, I know and love.
So, you can imagine my excitement as we got into the Ingrid chapters and I got to know the character and history of the evil queen. You know what just kick Snow out of the book entirely and I will read about nothing but the Evil Queen!
I love her so much!!!
I really enjoyed this twisted tale and can understand why this is such a popular series of books, you get more of the Disney characters you love, and get to see them in different situations.
Who doesn’t like to mix things up sometimes?
Rating 4 Stars - Really good, I would recommend reading it
Again, a huge thank you to the team at Scholastic Australia for sending me copy of this book, it was my first Twisted tale and I enjoyed it so much.
Happy Reading Everyone!
