This book is a retelling of the fairy tale of the same name. I enjoyed the story and plot, which makes more emotional sense than the original. I didn't enjoy the language and style. Wrede attempts an Elizabethan style of speaking for all characters, which doesn't quite come off. The characterisation is passable, but better for the villains than the heroes.
Snow White and Rose Red first published 1989
