Maybe this would be a better book for kids, but as an adult who reads all fairy tale retellings I can get my hands on, I was pretty disappointed with this one. While not as epically bad as her version of Beauty and the Beast, the book still had a crummy writing style, some implausible moments, and confusing passages. I thought the particular example of not even naming the Queen really limited her character, while Verona seemed much more dimensional. If you want a good backstory, head over to ABC's Once Upon A Time. Now that's an Evil Queen to admire.
