Ratings and reviews

I really enjoyed this story. As I previously read 'Poisoned Fate' where we got a different but great tale of the Evil Queen, or Katya's story, I have been wishing for the story of everything that happened to Lucia in her quest to get her community back. When I realized that 'Fractured Core' was that story, I was so excited. It gives the reader all the missing information and character's feelings that were missing in Katya's story. This was an exciting and sweet retelling of the story of Snow White and the Evil Queen, but this time in Lucia or Snow White's point of view. I love Laura's retellings of all the classic fairy tales and can't wait to read more stories like this. ' I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Lucia is a princess in distress but not in the usual way. Her best friend Katya married Lucia's brother for which at the beginning Lucia rejoiced and yet slowly things began to change. The death of her father and brother left her now sister-in-law to rule and what a rule it was. High taxes, impossible demands, families ripped apart and the whole kingdom going to ruin. A plot on Lucia's life forces her to flee into the woods with some loyal staff and slowly they begin to build a village and a rebellion. Hatred for the new queen brings the people together until it seems that someone is trying to kill Lucia! Jonathan is a prince who was dispatched by his father to bring about a marriage between their two kingdoms be it by marrying either Katya (not a option he favoured) or Lucia (who he wasn't sure was ever going to make it as Queen). Still he chose Lucia and set off to find her. When he arrives it seems that trouble arrives with him as the first of the attempts on Lucia's life come soon after. Lucia is struggling to make herself the rightful Queen that her people deserve and Jonathan is trying to make sure that he survives long enough to do so. This is a wonderful Snow White retelling and refreshingly different which is why I don't want to tell you too much and as with all the others, spoil the surprise! Poisoned Fate is interwoven with this one and if I had a suggestion to make I would say that you need to read Fractured Core first.This is a marvellous series and would encourage you to get them all.
