Review Detail

The Wildest Things by Andrea Hannah is a sapphic retelling where Snow White has reawakened after 20 years in her glass coffin but not by proper love's kiss, instead by a forest that is hungering for its keeper to balance the world out. While Snow White has been slumbering the world, she knows a blight has destroyed it due to the evil queen and her daughter assuming they can be the keepers of the land. Now that Snow White is back, she is determined to set things right, but can she survive the crazy animals who are twisted, the dying land, and what has happened to the seven dwarfs who are now twisted and desperate trying to survive in this cruel world? In some ways, I found this to be a refreshing take on Snow White. We get two POVs: Snow White and the Famour Mirror. I found it very dark in places where Snow encountered various animals who used to be her friends, the huntsman, and the originality of the seven dwarfs, who are down to three. The Wildest Things will give you an original, deliciously dark tale and keep you guessing how it will all play out.
