77 books340 followershis is the part I'm always the worst at—talking about myself! So as you've figured out, my name is Elizabeth Rudnick and I'm a young adult author. I'm also a Senior Editor at Disney Press in New York City. I've edited books based on movies like Pirates of the Caribbean and Prince of Persia as well as Miley Cyrus's memoir, Miles to Go, which was a New York Times bestseller (imagine if Tweet Heart was too!) and a total blast to work on.
When I'm not working, I live in Connecticut with a big mutt named Jack Dyson (because he has the ability to suck up anything in his way) and have a habit of watching hours of mindless television. I like to think of it as research!

This was an EASY 5/5! The retelling of this fairytale classic with a feminist spin has me in tears !!! Casting Snow White in a light that makes HER the strength, the bravery, and the savior, is everything I could have wanted for this princess. The way the males in the story were supporting characters and not the center of attention was done subtly , and the love and friendship amongst all stood out in a way that made this version of the story a fair and rare retelling. I enjoyed every moment of this book. :)

I read this book after I saw the movie. I enjoyed reading most of the additional descriptions in the book. I hoped that the book ending would be stronger than the movie ending. But both of them are too abrupt with not enough details. I was also annoyed that none of the songs are included. My favorite part is the photo insert because it provides an excellent summary of the movie.

Okay, since this is the novelization of the movie, this will be my overall movie review. So, there's a lot to go over. I will have a positive and negative section.
To start, the writing for the actual character of Snow White is very good. I like how she gets a character arc where she doesn't feel like she's fearless or brave. That was a nice added moment. I actually really liked how the seven dwarves were mirrored by Jonathon's seven friends. I liked the characterization of the dwarves (besides Bashful... He just wasn't right). I also really liked Jonathan. He was a fun added character and he really did a good job of taking the Prince's story. I liked the extra lore when it came to Snow White's kingdom. And, this isn't much a part about the book, but I also loved the stunning visuals... But, there is the diamond clad ruler in the room.
The Queen's writing is just so boring in this book/movie. I really wish we would've learned more about her backstory/motivations. The Cinderella, Aladdin, Cruella, and Maleficent films all added so much to the villains to make them feel believable. I know two of those are villain movies... But the villains of those films were also fleshed out. The Queen doesn't even get a name. She doesn't even get a motivation. There is a quote near the end of this book about how the only thing that the Queen loved was herself... But that can't be right because she is constantly searching for the mirror's validation. So, I think they could've played into that. I also hated her costumes. Beyond that, the story has such a small scope. It doesn't really feel like her tyrannical rule is affecting anything but the very small village. Also, I didn't much like how the dwarves were just called miners. That was a bit odd. I understand it was definitely a mandate, but they could've better classified what kind of creatures they are.
Now, there is a reason why I gave this book five stars. Firstly, it was hit with a one star before the novel was even released. Secondly, I give no blame on the faults of the story to Rudnick. She was just writing an adaptation of the movie. She did a very good job in doing so. The language is flowery and pretty good. The actual story could've been a bit better!
