In the beginning, we see that Snow White is very disturbed and depressed even though her daughter&#8217;s wedding is about to commence. She is distracted and has no interest in the wedding affairs.The book follows as she is confronted with a mirror that forces her to relive her past and take a look at what her life has become.\u00a0<!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">This book is quite short and it can\u00a0probably be read in one or two sittings. Before going into this book, I had no idea what it was about and what it will be like. So it was a pleasant surprise when I began reading it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">I found it really interested that the protagonist of this book is a middle-aged woman. It is something that I haven&#8217;t found in many books that I have read. I liked that we move backwards\u00a0starting from the present and learn about her past life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">I absolutely loved the writing! It was elegant and it flowed very well. It was one of the things that made me want to keep reading.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">This is a really great story. The plot is very original and nothing like I&#8217;ve read before. I am usually not a fan of books that consist of flashbacks of the character&#8217;s life but it was done really well in this one. It is based on a fairy tale but the book is itself a fairy tale as well. It teaches us to move on with our lives and not be stuck in the past.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">This book left me with a warm feeling in my heart. It is something very refreshing to read and I recommend it to\u00a0everyone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Add this book on Goodreads Buy this book on Amazon Genre:\u00a0Fairy Tale Retelling My Rating: 4 stars I received this book from the author in exchange for an\u00a0honest review The Reflections of Queen Snow White by David Meredith is the&hellip;<\/p>\n<div class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/travellingthroughwords.com\/index.php\/2017\/02\/07\/book-review-the-reflections-of-queen-snow-white-by-david-meredith\/#more-4505\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading &#10142; <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Book Review: The Reflections of Queen Snow White by David Meredith<\/span><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[52,85,99,175,176,180,187,457,504],"class_list":["post-4505","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-book-reviews","tag-blog-post","tag-book-review","tag-books","tag-fairy-tale","tag-fairy-tale-retelling","tag-fantasy","tag-fiction","tag-the-reflections-of-queen-snow-white","tag-writing"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":6433,"url":"https:\/\/travellingthroughwords.com\/index.php\/2017\/04\/12\/some-unique-books-ive-read-recently-top-10-tuesday-8\/","url_meta":{"origin":4505,"position":0},"title":"Some Unique Books I&#8217;ve Read Recently (Top 10 Tuesday #8)","date":"April 12, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"Top 10 Tuesday is a weekly book meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.\u00a0For future Top Ten Tuesday topics & info on how to participate, click here.
