Saturday Tag

Welcome dear readers, to yet another Saturday Tag, where the fun never stops!

Today I will complete this fun tag:

SNOW WRITE RETELLING

I usually love the original things, but from time to time there comes a re-telling, a re-make that is just as amazing as the original was. 

Every winter something just happens to me and Snow White becomes my go to story, music and everything. Yup, I guess I have a fairy tale for every season!

Therefore, let me know present you some of the Snow White retelling stories.

 

p.s. not all of them are diamonds!

1. Stitching Snow by R.C. Lewis

 

 Princess Snow is missing.

Her home planet is filled with violence and corruption at the hands of King Matthias and his wife as they attempt to punish her captors. Essie has grown used to being cold. Temperatures on the planet Thanda are always sub-zero, and she fills her days with coding and repairs for the seven loyal drones that run the local mines.

When a mysterious young man named Dane crash-lands near her home, Essie agrees to help the pilot repair his ship. But soon she realizes that Dane’s arrival was far from accidental, and she’s pulled into the heart of a war she’s risked everything to avoid. With the galaxy’s future—and her own—in jeopardy, Essie must choose who to trust in a fiery fight for survival.

 

 Actually this does sound kind of interesting. I mean would probably be a total YA cliche filler but I mean Snow White in space? Why the hell not!

 

 

2. The Snow Queen by C.J. Redwine

Lorelai Diederich, crown princess and fugitive at large, has one mission: kill the wicked queen who took both the Ravenspire throne and the life of her father. To do that, Lorelai needs to use the one weapon she and Queen Irina have in common—magic. She’ll have to be stronger, faster, and more powerful than Irina, the most dangerous sorceress Ravenspire has ever seen.

 

Magic. Sold! I mean it! I mean it sounds horrible but who knows! Maybe it would be a fun, full packed read with good characters and fast pace I mean, a girl could hope!

Also....Lorelai Gilmore!

3.  Mirror Mirror by Gregory Maguire

 

The year is 1502, and seven-year-old Bianca de Nevada lives perched high above the rolling hills and valleys of Tuscany and Umbria at Montefiore, the farm of her beloved father, Don Vicente.  

But one day a noble entourage makes its way up the winding slopes to the farm - and the world comes to Montefiore. In the presence of Cesare Borgia and his sister, the lovely and vain Lucrezia - decadent children of a wicked pope - no one can claim innocence for very long. When Borgia sends Don Vicente on a years-long quest to reclaim a relic of the original Tree of Knowledge, he leaves Bianca under the care - so to speak - of Lucrezia. She plots a dire fate for the young girl in the woods below the farm, but in the dark forest there can be found salvation as well .. 

 

I think I would also read this one! I dunno I think this is just because Cesare Borgia name is in this but it actually seems like a pretty descent historical fiction book. Probably would be more fiction than history but still would be interesting to see how the plot would go.

 

4. Opal by Kristina Wojtaszek

 

 In this retwisting of the classic Snow White tale, the daughter of an owl is forced into human shape by a wizard who’s come to guide her from her wintry tundra home down to the colorful world of men and Fae, and the father she’s never known.

Trapped in a Fae-made spell, Androw waits for the one who can free him. A boy raised to be king, he sought refuge from his abusive father in the Fae tales his mother spun. A prison that will hold him forever unless the daughter of an owl can save him.

 

I truly cannot  even understand what would be happening in this book! To me this sounds like just another random fairytale that would probably have some Lithuanian roots, cause we like fairy tales like this, about like a potato and a bird and how the one loved the other and stuff so this book to me seems weird and just very confusing.

 

5. Winter by Marissa Meyer 

Princess Winter is admired by the Lunar people for her grace and kindness, and despite the scars that mark her face, her beauty is said to be even more breathtaking than that of her stepmother, Queen Levana.

Winter despises her stepmother, and knows Levana won't approve of her feelings for her childhood friend--the handsome palace guard, Jacin. But Winter isn't as weak as Levana believes her to be and she's been undermining her stepmother's wishes for years.

This is also a book I would be interesting to read. The concept seems interesting and I know the guys in this blog love these series! 

 I am also in the mood now for kick ass/wonder female characters that stand up for themselves and just kick ass along the way!

So I am putting this down to my now very long TBR!

We hope you enjoyed the tag as much as we did  while doing it!
