Girls Made of Snow and Glass by Melissa Bashardoust
4.0

[b:Girls Made of Snow and Glass|32768509|Girls Made of Snow and Glass|Melissa Bashardoust|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1501159897l/32768509._SX50_.jpg|51603373] was simply magical. Bashardoust's writing style did not seem to be work for everyone but the atmospheric way she crafted this clever retelling worked for me in so many ways. I agree that there were elements that could have been a little more - Nadia, the worldbuilding, its pacing - but the story as a whole was breathtaking. Her exploration of mother-daughter relationships was simply exquisite, and I know this story will stay with me for a long time.

Trigger warnings for
suicide, self-harm, physical injuries, amputation, death of a parent, child abuse, and misogyny
