wow, this is pretty good. 
 in this sci-fi world of snow white, we meet Essie - aka Princess Snow. I don't think that's a spoiler - if you didn't get that immediately...maybe you're just a tad bit slow? anyways, we see how she's been through much hardships on Thanda and now, let's meet Dane. the boy who crash lands onto Thanda - whom Essie saves. 
 And let's spoilers begin! 
 And then, Dane kidnaps Essie. He has an elaborate plan to trade Essie for his people - especially his father. 
 And of course, they fall in love too. And I loved how naturally it was - it wasn't love at first sight and I totally ship them! they are so adorable. 
 Then they go on an adventure and become king and queen :O 
 it's more like I'm too lazy to summarize what we have already read. 
 let's talk characters. 
 one of the flaws I see in Essie is all the self inflicted guilt. Even towards the end, she feels guilt for things she's done - and those she inadvertently did due to her circumstances. I understand but sometimes, I just want to shake her. 
 Dane. Dane. I want a Dane in my life. that's all I can say <3 He is swoon worthy. 
 the king - I'm a little confused as to what he did to Essie. abuse? sexual abuse? I'm a little conflicted and puzzled. But I don't like him. :( 
 Queen Olivia. How would you ever like her? she's possibly the one who caused the war that shouldn't have been. It sucks!!! Theo.....>.< 
 Overall, this was a good read. The opening was a little slow - but it was overall very captivating. For those who like fairytale retellings, I'd definitely recommend this world.
