This was recommended by a friend, at true to her own review, it was a nice, innocent retelling of Snow White and Rose Red. The book is starting to sound a bit dated, but the character building stays strong. Sometimes their innocence got a bit on my nerves, but the pace was good and it really picked up towards the end! This is a great recommendation for teens with strict, religious parents, who want their teen to read something less violent than "Those Hunger Games". There is definite Christian references and the language is kept clean. The violence and drug references are part of the plot, but nothing over PG.
