Yup. I have read and am reviewing yet another fairytale retelling this month. I have decided that this type of literature is officially my guilty pleasure. Girls Made of Snow and Glass is a spin on the story of Snow White and her "evil" stepmother. Bashardoust, the author, did a fantastic job taking the best parts of the fairytale and including them in this book while still keeping her story original. I loved that the two main characters, Lynet and Mina, were both strong, independent women who still had to deal with their individual weaknesses. Honestly, I am tired of the "perfect" feminist role model archetype that is appearing in so many new releases. The author's choice to give them both imperfections felt more "real" to me and elevated my admiration for the characters. My only complaint about this novel is that it did not explore the romantic aspect of a certain relationship (no spoilers here!) more. I think if Bashardoust had included more of a build-up to the relationship, it wouldn't have felt like a cheap attempt at trying to be more inclusive (the certain friendship to love storyline I am referring to is between two women).
