Review - The Girl and the Seven Thieves
Title The Girl and the Seven Thieves Author Olivia Snowe Illustrator Michelle Lamoreaux Content Warning Attempted murder, non-consensual kiss Goodreads Synopsis Eira and her stepmother don't get along, but she never expected to be left in a New York City alley. When seven thieves find her, she'll have to try to trust them. ( Goodreads ) Story Review *** (3 stars out of 5) This book is a Middle Grade retelling of Snow White. For my taste it's a little formulaic and far too short to really develop any real sense of the characters. I also think it wraps up the evil stepmother much too neatly. I did like the idea of the thieves, since they also have a reason to want to hide away from society. The addition of actual magic kind of took me out of the setting, so I wish that part had been handled differently. *Spoiler Warning* Do not read beyond this point if you have not read the book and you care about spoilers.
