SYNOPSIS:
Fairest of all tells the unheard tale of the wicked queen and how she came to be a heartless villain. The story opens up with a king visiting the best mirror maker in town when he stumbles upon his beautiful daughter. When the mirror maker dies, the king returns and soon a wedding is taken place. Along with becoming queen, she becomes an amazing stepmother to the kings only daughter, a lovely little girl named Snow. She watches out for the girl as if she were her own child but one day tragedy strikes and the queen and snow are left alone after the king dies in battle. Along the story you see the the queens cruelty growing until she becomes the villain we all know and love to hate.
REVIEW:
Its the tale of Snow White told from the Queen's point of view, seems impossible to make this boring right? Wrong! Unfortunately Serena Valentino does just that! It's like she was telling herself "how can we take an already awesome tale and make it into the most horribly boring fairy tale anyone could ever read?!"
The story was boring and the only part I found interesting was the last few sentences of the book.
RECOMMENDED TO:
No one.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this novel!
Anyone who knows me, know that I'm a sucker for everything Disney. However, I like my stories a little darker than the usual Disney-flavor and this book (this entire series!) is a delectable mix of the two!
Now, when I read a retelling of Snow White, I often find myself sympathizing with the "Evil" Queen because of this book. It really stuck with me and I cannot wait to read the others! ^_^
