![]() ![]() I really enjoyed Dickerson’s “modernization” (medieval-ization?) of the seven dwarves, and overall the fairy tale of Snow White is easy to see, and yet distinct from its origins. This is a fairy tale retelling (Snow White) set in 1400s Germany with Christian overtones, and it is actually pretty decent, for the most part. Now both must not only protect each other from the dangers around them-they must also protect their hearts.” When the pair flee to the Cottage of the Seven, they find help-but also find their feelings for each other have grown. ![]() Though romance is impossible-she is his brother’s future wife, and Gabe himself is betrothed to someone else-he promises himself he will see the mission through, no matter what. Gabe defied his parents, Rose and Wilhelm, by going to find Sophie, and now he believes they had a right to worry the girl’s inner and outer beauty has enchanted him. This could be Sophie’s one chance at freedom-but can she trust another person to keep her safe? Then a young man named Gabe arrives from Hagenheim Castle, claiming she is betrothed to his older brother, and everything twists upside down. ![]() ![]() “Sophie desperately wants to get away from her stepmother’s jealousy and believes escape is her only chance to be happy. The Fairest Beauty is written by Melanie Dickerson. ![]()
