3.5/5⭐ I liked the blending of the Snow White fairytale with the Demeter/Persephone myth and the thematic cycles and mirror motif therein. Some of the relationships and character trajectories moved forward in ways that didn't seem logical given the information we got on the page. Overall though I enjoyed the story, the crafting of the themes, and especially the hopeful ending.

Also the cover art is stunning.

Mirrors taught: Perhaps there were always at least two sorts of reality, what you credited, and what was true.

I don't expect fairy tales to be happy, but this one is chock full of misery. Well written and as brilliant as you'd expect from Tanith Lee, but just downright depressing. So much rape and violence. It isn't a pleasant read
