What I liked about this book:
Aza is a very realistic character. She wasn't pretty, charming, or witty. Aza was loyal, caring, and self sacrificing.
The plot was really great. It was inspired by ' Snow White' ,but it was written in a way that made in new and interesting.
What I didn't like about this book:
There was some magic in this book, but it wasn't the witchcraft kind.
My rating: 3
