So I will read that, I just hope that Valentino has put more of a spin on it. I will be reading the next one, purely because Beauty and The Beast was always my favourite, I want to say ‘princess story’ even though Belle wasn’t a princess but what the hell lol. Bits of it I liked, others I found boring, I just don’t know. 22m What caused the Wicked Queen to become so, well, wicked Fairest of All by SerenaValentino comes to life in the graphic novel adaptation of the book that started it all. I honestly cannot make up my mind about this book. I really do have very mixed feelings towards this book Generally, I did enjoy reliving the story of Snow White, it was always one of my favourites when I was a kid, but I just wish that there had been a bit more substance to the book. It was fairly nice to have the addition of these characters, once that encouraged the Queens evil and helped to fuel it, but there wasn’t really enough of them in here to make them feel like pivotal characters that needed to be there. This was the only kind of new element that I could find in the story. Lucinda, Ruby and Martha where inserted into the story as the initiating factor in the Queens discovery of magic. The only real, twist, that there was in this book was the addition of The Sisters. It was well written and did manage to draw you in, I just would have liked a little twist to the story. That being said, the story enjoyable enough. No spin, no added extras, just the story we all already know. She literally just told the story of Snow White, from the Queens pov. I had thought, assumed really, that Valentino was going to put a spin on it, but she didn’t. I knew that it was going to be from the Evil Queens perspective and that it was going to be explaining how she became, well, evil, but I was a little bit disappointed.

And I also generally love it when it puts a whole new spin on things, but this one wasn’t quiet what I was expecting.

Generally speaking I love fairytale retellings. I have very mixed feelings about this book.

That’s right, it is time for ‘Fairest Of All’ by Serena Valentino. Its Saturday, and you know what that means, book review time! This week it is all about fairytale’s.
