Reviewed in India on 7 June 2019

This book has artwork and imagery in it, which is just beautiful. It really takes it to another level and makes the book a perfect keepsake.
The story is really nice, though as an adult reading it, I felt it was a little abrupt at times. Maybe it works for a young pre-teen or tween girl, who is the target reader. I bought it for a favorite niece.
All in all, the hardcover version is a good buy, and a great gift.

This is the most beautiful hardcover book I have ever seen. The first and last pages and the colourful illustrations are amazing and also the story is very good . Go for it..

Love the book. Sadly I ordered the hardback and received the paperback from a seller which was a shame as this is a lovely keepsake book. Returning was a bit of a faff so kept it. The book itself is wonderful and the illustrations are beautiful :)

So so wonderful. My 9.5yo daughter and I just finished this. So special. We both cried (happy tears!) at the end. Just bought the odd orphanage one to start next.

But this was NOT a case of good cover/bad book

For Middle-Grade March I selected a couple of books based on reviews, personal recs, and maybe for the covers alone. This one was for the cover alone. But this was NOT a case of good cover/bad book. Not by a long shot.

This was one of those books that you didn't now you needed. It is a retelling of Snow White and Rose Red, two young sisters who are forced to move to a cottage in the woods after their father goes missing. As their mother grows more distant by the day, succumbing to her grief, the two venture off into the woods in search of adventure. And sometimes adventure just seems to find them. They befriend a boy who lives underground and come into contact with wolves, a bear, thieves and even a little man who seems to need rescuing over and over again.

I have no read the original Grimm tale so I am not sure how closely resembling it this book is, but I can say there was certainly magic on every page and it the anticipation of seeing the wonderful illustrations kept me up long after my bedtime. I dare to say that there was even magic in the very pages. I felt like a kid again.

Martin's writing is both magical and breezy. This is not a long book, clocking in at just over 200 pages. The girls are well fleshed out with individual personalities. I recommend this to anyone looking for fairy tales or simply something to get you out of that book slump. I highly recommend it to anybody with kids as they will find it as beautiful as I did.

This was the first book we have consistently read until finish, with my 7yo and 4yo. They both absolutely, heck me included, LOVED this book. I wasn't sure what to expect other than incredible art, as we have read a few of EWM's books before. From the art, to the characters and their details, she does a great job at making it easy to picture the story as you read, and truly feel like you know the characters, but never being able to expect what happens. We read a chapter a night until we finished it, and were super sad once it was over. We would LOVE a sequel, even though the book doesn't leave you being able to wonder what happened next, or there is no cliffhanger. It all flows so smoothly, and keeps you wanting to read more without those awful cliffhangers that digital media uses. I could go on and on but bottom line, highly recommend this book, so much that we might just reread it!
