I thought that this book was well written and included beautiful word choices and descriptions. It was different than I expected in terms of plot - less based in fairy tale. I loved the references to Harry Potter and The Chronicles of Narnia.
Hazel is best friends with Jack and depends on him as she transitions to life in public school after her parents' divorce. One day, a shard of a magical mirror falls out of the sky and hits Jack in the eye. The shard cuts right to Jack's heart and he no longer is friendly towards Hazel. He meets a White Witch who takes him deep into a magical winter forest. Meanwhile, Hazel heads off on a quest to find him and follows him deep into the woods. She meets several interesting and bizarre characters on her way and eventually makes her way back to Jack.
Readers who enjoy fantasy will like the details Ursu includes about the characters in the woods.
