Evil Queen (Original)
Evil Queen (Original) | Gena Showalter
WELCOME TO THE FOREST OF GOOD AND EVIL. A DREAM COME TRUE...AND A LIVING NIGHTMARE. Far, far away, in the realm of Enchantia, creatures of legend still exist, magic is the norm and fairy tales are real. Except, fairy tales aren't based on myths and legends of the past--they are prophecies of the future. Raised in the mortal realm, Everly Morrow has no idea she's a real-life fairy-tale princess--until she manifests an ability to commune with mirrors. Look. See... What will one peek hurt? Soon, a horrifying truth is revealed. She is fated to be Snow White's greatest enemy, the Evil Queen. With powers beyond her imagination or control, Everly returns to the land of her birth. There, she meets Roth Charmaine, the supposed Prince Charming. Their attraction is undeniable, but their relationship is doomed. As the prophecy unfolds, Everly faces one betrayal after another, and giving in to her dark side proves more tempting every day. Can she resist, or will she become the queen--and villain--she was born to be? The battle between good and evil is on.

This pains me as I love this authors writing. I love retelling‘s and I love a good romance. However…this was so inconsistent almost like two different voices wrote this. This just fell flat. All the way around actually. Not a fan. #100readschallenge #readingchallenge2022

I wanted to like this way more than I actually did, because I love fairy tale retelling. It has its good moments but the characters are basically unlikeable with no character development, and the writing is hasty in parts.

Looks like #JudeDeveraux is trying a remake of A Knight in Shining Armor, can't wait for this one. #penguin #classic collectors edition has some amazing illustrations.

I love #retellings of the #fairytale stories I grew up. This book like #onceuponatime (tv series) made my whole view of The Evil Queen change. You get an entire new perspective. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. #LitsyLove

UwannaPublishme I love Regina and Once Upon a Time! 🙌🏻 4y

⭐⭐⭐⭐.5

4.5 stars
I loved, loved, LOVED this book.
It sucked me in right from the start, as is usual with Gena's books.
I am amazed at how much I fell for the characters.
This unique take on Snow White blew my mind and I cannot wait for new books from this series to come out.

This was bad. Like next level bad. I hear there‘s a second book which I‘m sure will be just as bad but I‘m gonna read it anyway. (I can‘t stand to not finish a story, I have to know what happens even if it sucks bad, like reaaaaaaaally bad)

Fairytale retellings are one of my favorite genres of books and I normally love them! However I‘m struggling SO HARD with this book. It seems so childish and has no good character or world building at all. I‘m trying so hard to finish it but I don‘t know if I can. 😭

ThePinkMoose I find her works to be hit or miss. I loved Alice in Zombieland but hated Everlife even though I finished the series. I kept thinking it would get better. 4y
Brittybuhh This is the second time I‘ve picked this back up trying to get through it. If I put it down again I think I‘m just gonna have to DNF it 4y
ThePinkMoose Man I hate that. I love retellings too. Hope it picks up for you. 4y

rroeme I loved it! But everyone is different. 4y
Brittybuhh @rroeme I‘m getting through it 😂 I guess it‘s not thatttttt bad, it‘s just not as developed as I‘m used to. 4y
rroeme @Brittybuhh I think it‘s because it going to be a series so it‘s a little “beginning” if you know what I mean. Lol. And it‘s an author who usually writes 15 book series and this is her first ya book 4y
Brittybuhh @rroeme dang. I really hope it gets a lot better and that it‘s a 15 book series 😂 that would be amazing. 4y

This is the book that never ends
Yes it goes on and on my friends
I started reading it not knowing what it was
And I‘ll continue reading it forever just because

Seriously I knew this was 20+ hours going in but I was hoping it didn‘t feel like 20+ hours. I‘m feeling every minute.

Already a couple pages in and loving it so far. Snow White and the Seven Dwarves was always my favorite story and to see it in a different style is something I never thought I had to get my hands on. 😁

Guys...I couldn‘t. This was just bad. The dialogue was awful, the characters were just annoying. It was like being around a bunch of high schoolers that have NOTHING interesting to say. Skip this. #struggle

Not sure why I left the blockbuster to be the last of my #augustrso2019 #preview reads. Might it be that I am a little bit over retelling fairy tales to redeem the ‘baddies‘? Weeeeellll, possibly. (Read yes). #currentlyreading #retelling #ginashowalter #openmind #letsgetthisdone

My latest #tbrpile for #augustrso2019 some Oz 🇦🇺📚stuff there which makes me happy, but also a blockbuster too. A good mix of middle and older readers.

I love Showalters adult books. I expect nothing less of her teen books. Also good for #Booked2019 #retelling.
