This book was absolutely amazing. I loved the plot, I loved the
characters, I loved how the classic Snow White story was so brilliantly
inserted into the into the book. There was never a boring part while I was
reading it.
Essie, the main character is so strong without being overly tough.
She retains the feminine quality while also possessing enough independence and
strength to defend herself. Very few authors manage to do this so I'd like to
compliment the author onthat.
Essie is a character who is more than just the
words used to describe her. She truly comes to life in this story.
Dane is just perfect for Essie. He is strong and brave, but he
doesn't try to be the big hero. In fact, I could easily say that both Dane and
Essie play equally huge roles in this book. Dane believes in Essie more than
anyone else does. He protects her but also has faith that she could protect
herself. He is sweet, has some humorous moments, respects Essie's strength, and
is, all in all, the best guy that could ever be matched up with Essie. The
couple definitely have great chemistry, but they aren't the type of couple who
would sacrifice everything to be together. They still think about saving the
kingdom and put it first which is why I wouldn't say that it is completely a
love story.
I don't usually read books from this genre yet I was hooked with
this story. It didn't feel foreign or weird. Dane, Essie, and even Essie's
drones, Dimwit and Cusser are very well developed characters although the
villains such as Queen Olivia and King Matthias need a bit more background.
Another thing, the Snow White story is very sneakily but seamlessly placed into
the plot as if it really is meant to be there. The technology and machinery
shown in the book are modern without being overly advanced.
All in all, Stitching Snow is a brilliant and refreshing read
unlike any other. Its modern take on the story of Snow White is perfect and
readers who like sci-fi or YA will love it.

Thanks for writing a review of Stitching Snow. It's on my reading wishlist along with several other books I want to add to my already massive to be read pile... At least now, I know that Stitching Snow would be a wonderful addition to my to be read pile. :-)
