Once upon a time there was a mirror. . . . So begins this dark, unusual retelling of the story of Snow White by the writer reviewers have called "the Angela Carter of the fantasy field"--a whole novel based on a beloved story, turning it into a dark and sensual drama full of myth and magic. Arpazia is the aging queen who paces the halls of a warlord's palace. Cold as winter, she has only one passion--for the mysterious hunter who courts the outlawed old gods of the woodland. Coira is the princess raised in the shadow of her mother's hatred. Avoided by both her parents and half forgotten by her father's court, she grows into womanhood alone . . . until the mirror speaks, and blood is spilled, and the forest claims her. The tragic myth of the goddess Demeter and her daughter, Persephone, stolen by the king of the underworld, is woven together with the tale of Snow White to create a powerful story of mothers and daughters and the blood that binds them together, for good or ill. Black queen. White maid. Royal huntsman. Seven little folk who live in the forest. Come inside, sit by the fire, and listen to this fairy tale as you've never heard it told before. Once upon a time there was a mirror, and a girl as white as snow. . . .… (meer)

Quick read for me. I’m a sucker for fairy tales. I loved the writing style, it was flowery enough to match the tone of classic fairy tales but not overly so. I would’ve given it 4 stars if the author dialed back the rape. Every female character gets raped at least once. ( )

CW: frequent rape, one instance of abortion, enslavement of dwarves

I liked the blending of the Snow White fairytale with the Demeter/Persephone myth and the thematic cycles and mirror motif therein. Some of the relationships and character trajectories moved forward in ways that didn't seem logical given the information we got on the page. Overall though I enjoyed the story, the crafting of the themes, and especially the hopeful ending. ( )

It drew me onward, I didn't want to put the book down. I was sorry for almost everyone. And sorry that she couldn't pull something more positive out of the bones of the tale. Although it could have been worse. I wonder about the setting. I was guessing Hungary or further down the Mediterranean toward Greece. A search for Marusa says that it's a Slovenian name. ( )

This was such an odd retelling of the Snow White story that even a few weeks later I can’t quite comprehend writing an adequate review of it. The story is engaging and Tanith Lee’s writing is wonderful, but I spent most of the time while reading it feeling a vague sense of unease and discomfort. Maybe it’s because the themes of Snow White are deeply problematic already (rape, viewing different people as being “other,” attempted murder, family betrayal), or maybe it was Lee’s straightforward yet twisted presentation of these themes, but either way this story was deeply unsettling.

This is right up there with "Beauty" by Robin McKinley and "Mermaid" by Carolyn Turgeon as a must-read fairy tale novel retelling. Tanith Lee mesmerizes with her use of imagery and symbolism and makes this retelling of "Snow White" fresh and vibrant, dark and disturbing. This is by no means a light read, but is in its darkness one aching with depth and truth. It cast me under its spell much like the fabled apple at its core. Lee's effort puts the silliness of the recent "Snow White and the Huntsman" movie to shame. This is faerie, fable and myth at its most naked and vulnerable. A reading journey I will never forget. ( )
