Book Reviews of The Snow Princess
Book Review: A sort of Bittersweet tale
Summary: 4 Stars
I like the cover of this book quite a bit as the snow has some glitter built into it. Its a Russian tale, of the Snow Princess, her father is the winter her mother is essentially the spring. She is happy and lovely--except she is curious about the world she lives in. So her parents give her permission to explore the world, with one warning. If love touches her heart she shall become mortal and die.
We know where this is going.
My only problem is that, while the guy is perfectly nice he is shown really earning her sacrafice. I think he should have done something for her besides get nearly frozen to death. (which wasn't even for her, it was for a lost sheep!)
Aside from my little character development problem, I love the illustrations and the story as a whole is very nice.
