I went into this book completely blind, and I must admit it took me an embarrassingly long time to realize this is a Snow White retelling. To be fair though, it's only loosely inspired, as it has Snow, apples, mirrors, a King and Queen...
T. Kingfisher brings so much original worldbuilding into this, along with really enjoyable and in parts surprising characters. Anja is the FMC, a socially awkward and somewhat sarcastic Healer specialized in poisons... I mean, antidotes. The King brings her to his castle to find out if his daughter Snow is being poisoned. What unravels there is really unexpected, somewhat dark but also very humorous in the kind of tone only T. Kingfisher can provide. Among a couple of side characters there is also a talking cat that is really enjoyable. The author's books are a bit hit or miss for me, but this one I really really loved. It has great pacing, delves deep into poisons and alchemy, and ultimately has a very satisfying ending. 4,5/5 stars Thank you @netgalley and @panmacmillan for the eARC! #HemlockAndSilver #Netgalley #Bookstagram #SnowWhite
