It becomes even better when said stuff turns out to be magical! Each object in the museum can do something different. Except for the little fact that the prince didn’t kiss her awake, he just found a wizard who could undo the spell ^^ Ha! Had to laugh out loud when reading that one ^^ And Bianca is apparently a descendant of Snow White! With magical powers! How cool is that?What’s even more awesome is the museum, full with stuff from fairy tales. In her book everything that happened in the story is real.

It was fun to read it again and see how Liz DeJesus twisted this story around. Apparently I’ve forgotten some little details (like the fact that she was almost killed 3 times… how could I forget that?). Although I had to refresh my memory, since the story doesn’t use the Disney version, but the much darker, original story of the brothers Grimm.

To be more specifically: this book is kind of a retelling of one of my favorites: Snow White. It gives you a whole new story to enjoy, with the same magic of the old one.That’s also the case with First Frost. It makes well-known fairy-tales ”fresh” and enjoyable. A retelling usually focuses on details you’ve forgotten or gives the story a different twist. I still love reading them ^^ Therefore I love to read retellings of my favorite ones. Although it becomes a bit boring after some time, since the story is always the same and you know what’s coming. She’s about to find out how wrong she is.Note: I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest reviewRead the full review at Witchmag's Boekenplank* Squeal* Fairy Tales! I absolutely love reading them! I don’t know how many times I’ve read Snow White or Rapunzel. She knows the items in the glass display cases are fakes because, of course, magic doesn’t really exist.

Seventeen-year-old Bianca Frost wants none of it, dreaming instead of a career in art or photography or…well, anything except working in the family’s museum. Gathered within museum’s walls is a collection dedicated to the Grimm fairy tales and to the rare items the family has acquired: Cinderella’s glass slipper, Snow White’s poisoned apple, the evil queen’s magic mirror, Sleeping Beauty’s enchanted spinning wheel… She was wrong.įor generations, the Frost family has run the Museum of Magical and Rare Artifacts, handing down guardianship from mother to daughter, always keeping their secrets to “family only.” Today for my tour stop for the First Frost blog tour, I'll be sharing with you all my interview with the author.įairytales aren’t real…yeah…that’s exactly what Bianca thought.
