My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved Jennifer Ikeda's brilliant narration of this reimagining of the Snow White Tale in this 2017 release. The voices, the inflection and the feelings and inner monologues of Mina and Lynet were wonderful to listen to; Mina's feeling of entrapment by her father, her husband the king, and being told by her father she would/could never be loved by anyone because of her glass heart, plunged Mina into a life of harsh insecurity believing only her beauty would garner her success. Lynet, the princess was such a special, strong, capable character- even though her father, the king, kept her away from playmates, she found love and acceptance with Mina. I especially enjoyed Felix and his transformation over time; it was just so good, since everything was so calculated by Mina. It was always tough to listen to Gregory, he was such an evil heinous character. But the ending, oh the ending- it made me so so happy with this new re-imagining; Highly recommended!
