This was a quick read for me. Though it’s listed as YA, it’s almost borderline middle grade.
Serena Valentino put an interesting spin on the Wicked Queen’s story from Snow White where The Queen’s personal flaws about her vanity cause her to go down a rabbit hole of poor self esteem. The book begins just before The Queen marries The King (Snow White’s dad) and follows the Queen’s story to the end of Disney’s interpretation of Snow White.
The POV of this book is in a third person but read more like first person, which was a little strange for me.
Overall, pretty good story, I might end up reading the next one in the series which focuses on Maleficent.
