Snow, Glass, Apples by Neil Gaiman
4.0
dark emotional mysterious sad tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

The art in this story is drop dead gorgeous, if you could forgive the pun. I love the subversion of the whole Snow White story, making her a creature to be feared than a frail beauty. I enjoyed seeing this monstrous side of a beloved princess figure and the gruesomeness of the tale really gives it that old, dark fairy tale charm.
