Fairest, by Gail Carson Levine, is a retelling of the classic story Snow White. But in this story, Eva is definitely not the fairest in the land. The rest of the story is basically the same premise, with a few magical twists. I enjoyed the book but at times it seemed to drag. By the end of the book though, I was racing through it to discover the final outcome. Eva is definitely a sympathetic character that grows in strength and confidence by the end. If you enjoyed reading Levine's other magical book Ella Enchanted, you will enjoy this one as well!
