Girls Made of Snow and Glass

One created from the snow. One with a heart of glass. Who will love these girls? In this twist on Snow White, Mina and Lynet take on the roles of the Evil Queen and Snow White. Mina has been told by her magician father that the only reason anyone would love her is because she is beautiful. When she meets and marries the King, she finds this to be true as even he rejects her love. Lynet has always loved the snow. Her father, the King, treats her as if she will drift away and break if she isn't protected. He knows she will grow up to be the exact image of her mother. A mother she never knew. As Mina and Lynet grow close, those around them do everything they can to drive a wedge between the two. Lyne, growing up to take Mina's place as Queen. Mina, doing all she can to push Lynet away. In a series of lies, misinformation and deceit, Lynet runs away to save herself from Mina. But Mina never meant to drive Lynet away. How will these two women break the cycle of hate and find a way to rule together to make the world a better place? This was an interesting twist on this classic fairy tale. It has a mirror, a huntsman and a love interest. No dwarves though I kept waiting for some. It was a statement about women who are often pitted against each other by society overcoming the norms and becoming allies instead of enemies. It won't make my favorite list, but for my fairy tale lovers, this is a new take they may enjoy. Happy reading my friends!
