Mirrors of Ice

Honest Review in exchange for an ARC copy of this book at the authors request! All opinions expressed are solely my own.

This was my first experience with Celeste Baxendell's work as I hadn't read the previous book as she stated this can be read as a stand-alone, which proved to be true.

Honestly I was very pleasantly surprised, I'm real bad at judging books by their covers and also not too keen on most Snow White re-tellings...
But Mirrors of Ice? Impressed me and I read it in one go. I found I was never left disinterested by storyline or character development, and there was none of that forced love triangle that seems ever so popular in Snow White retelling and the way they use the point of the glass coffin just felt so clever!
I loved the amount of depth to be found in our two MCs and how throughout the characters felt consistent and developed and honest. I loved the development between Sterling and his family and how that was addressed from both characters in a way that felt believable and never forced or too farcical. Overall, my favourite Snow White retelling and Stalks of Gold is easily added to by TBR for sure. Baxendell is one to watch!
