Nostalgia beaten to a pulp - but it still looked good and I loved it.

With a shout out to a ton of popular imagery and literature pieces including my fave Neil Gaiman  - we were off to the gallows built by a wickedly hot evil StepQueen with nary a huntsman in sight at first. Good Times.

Romance Plot/Storyline/Themes:
Crashing out of the Sleeping Beauty Timelines and falling right into Snow White was epic and really added to worldlayering. I do love a macabre plot twist and besides, Sleeping Beauty is Zinnia Gray's comfort zone. It's too famìliar. Snow white was a welcome spanner in the works and perfect to knock a down a oeg or two, she was getting way to comfywith dimension jumping.

Character Development/Favorite Character:
Zinnia Gray is a character I found myself completely falling for in the first book. How could I not, the Dying Girl who resigned herself to her fate but still had enough of a hero streak to go save other girls in other dimensions. In this book, Zinnia's denial of her impending death by way of dimension-galaxy jumpung has caught up with her and she starts out the story in a world of self-pity with a side order of nonchalance and dark envy. I like her even more.

Favorite/Curious/Ludicrous/Unique Scene:: 

Introducing the Evil StepMother Queen Badass

Favorite/Curious/Ludicrous/Unique Quotes: 
♡“it’s hard to feel existential dread when you’re full of churros and beer.” (Zinnia on treats and booze)
♡I still dream of my own death sometimes, except now it’s a memory instead of a prophecy. (On meeting the Evil stepmother  )

Favorite/Curious/Ludicrous/Unique Concepts:

I love the idea that you can get yanked out of your dimension by some deadly queen looking to settle some scores.
