A Snow Queen retelling - with a romantic twist

After falling through a magical mirror, Jack stumbles into the Chanted Forest, where fairytale characters are real....

He's rescued by Aria, a princess on the run from the evil queen, and together, they embark on a quest to gather shards of a mirror, so they can use the portal to get away from the Chanted Forest forever.

They will need the help of friends such as Belle, Robin, and Ryding Hood if they have any hope of surviving the deadliest of foes.

But when dark secrets unravel, Jack and Aria must make a difficult choice: Face an evil queen and save the kingdom? Or save themselves and leave the fairytale characters without their happily ever after?

Queen of Snow starts off the Fairytales Reimagined series. An enchanting collection of connected retellings involving all the most-loved fairytale characters in literature.

5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING!!!!

Absolutely loved the retelling of the Snow Queen. It was a little cliche at some parts, but the story was overall enjoyable! I got it in the mail today and finished it today if that says anything. Definitely a book I couldn’t bring myself to put down! I loved how the different characters were introduced. It didn’t feel rushed or crowded either, which is amazing, given the amount of different characters and visited places. Can’t wait to read the next installment!!! Already have it on order!

Ps…. The ending is DIRTY!!!! If the second book release was delayed I’d be sorely disappointed!! Such an agonizing cliff hanger!!!!!

📚BOOK REVIEW📚

Queen of Snow by Laura Burton & Jessie Cal
(Book 1 in the Fairy Tales Reimagined series)

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Spice level: 0/3
Genres: Fantasy Romance
Tropes: fairytale retellings, loose greek mythology inspiration, mystery, family secrets, secret powers

Jack feels lost after losing his grandfather. Being the last surviving member of the family, he would inherit the large estate in England. He finds a mysterious mirror in his grandfather’s office, and an even more mysterious reflection of a beautiful girl in the mirror.

Th girl’s name is Aria, and she lives in an alternative realm where Fairytales are real. Her family was killed by the Evil Queen, and she needs to find all the shards to her realm’s version of the magic mirror so she can escape. She was promised a shard in exchange for luring Jack through the mirror, which she ends up doing.

She feels guilt once she has handed him off to someone (knowing he was likely in danger now) so she rescues him. She discovers he knows things about the people in her world (the “Fairytales” he was told as a kid) so she teams up with him to find the rest of the shards.

This story is mainly dual POV between Aria and Jack.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I enjoyed the general plot of this one, and I think the overall concept of the series is interesting. It’s almost like a reversed Once Upon a Time.

I liked the aspect of so many fairytales coming together in the same world, and the way that they interacted with each other was very creative. It was fun to try to guess who everyone was, but it wasn’t always immediately obvious. The rest of the series follows different people from different fairytales as well, which seems like it would be fun.

This one was hard for me to rate. There are a lot of plot details that don’t make sense and world-building type details that don’t feel well developed. A big plot point later in the book becomes time travel, and it is very poorly done. However, the book was overall fairly entertaining. It was short and quick, and the poorly developed plot points went by fast enough that it truly didn’t take me that far out of the story.

The other thing that felt off in this story was the dynamic between Jack and Aria. He forgives her entirely too fast for pulling him into the mirror and getting him stuck in another realm. And then, throughout the rest of the story, the pacing of their relationship felt off and definitely too fast.

Overall… if you liked Once Upon a Time, or the concept of fairytales and real life merging, you will probably find this series entertaining. You just have to be willing to pardon a lot of incomplete/confusing world-building and plot points.

Wow. This was an insane book! I adore fairy tale retellings so this whole new realm is just amazing. My hubby asked if it was like the multiverse and I loved that comparison. Lol. I read a book way down the line in this series first and am thrilled to be restarting at the beginning. These books are incredible and intricately woven. I’ll be happy to reread them again in the future.

If you love OUAT (the tv show) then you will probably like this. I love a good retelling and I love that this series has a few of the lesser known once like this one of The Snow Queen and Jack Frost
You get to meet other characters along the way like Belle and Riding Hood (Red) and Robin Hood

It’s a cute and compelling story and I love how they are all interconnected but still their own stories. I have devoured this series!

Wasn't exactly what I was expecting. Was very fast paced and not quite as dark as I was hoping it to be. Still not a bad read, and a very decent writer.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the best tbh
Reviewed in the Netherlands on April 10, 2024

The overall storyline is good and how they incorporated all the fairytale characters is really fun! But I missed the in depth of characters and the world. It feels like you just scratched the surface of the characters and I would love to have more character build up, growth of relationships and world building. It’s a short read and great if that’s what you’re looking for. If you’re just learning to read in English, this is a perfect first book to read! The language is not too difficult and the story is not confusing for first time readers. This book is perfect for young teenagers and people whose first language isn’t english. For the more mature and seasoned readers, this book is too easy and bland.

Ein packender Kurzroman, welcher gut als Lektüre zur Verbesserung der englischen Sprachkenntnisse genutzt werden kann. Das Buch handelt von Jack, welcher durch einen Spiegel in eine Art Märchenwelt fällt.

Achtung! Das Buch endet mit einem Plottwist und es fällt schwer nicht gleich den nächsten Teil zu bestellen.
