I liked it! My one problem with it is that it was kind of the same story, done a different way-- Aza was a different character from Ella, but the princes are, like, the same character. But it's also hard, I think, to retell fairy tales and not have them be formulaic, since the source material is. I really liked how the world worked and how she built on things from Ella, and I liked that she was able to come up with a way to retell Snow White and not make it another Evil Stepmother story.

I don't have goodreads! I think I read too embarrassingly little to make much use of it-- last year I think I read three books the whole year?

Have you read Shannon Hale? I think she's phenomenal if you like the whole fairy tales for teenaged girls genre.
