Sinossi
Snow vive nell'istituto psichiatrico di massima sicurezza di Whittaker da quando è solo una bambina. Ora ha sedici anni e un'unica certezza: lei non è pazza. È prigioniera. Lo sente nel suo cuore, nei suoi sogni, e ne è più che sicura quando guarda negli occhi Bale, il miglior compagno di sventure che le potesse capitare. Nel momento in cui Snow lo bacia, però, accade qualcosa di terribile: Bale cade in stato catatonico e scompare all'interno di uno specchio stregato. Senza di lui Snow non ha più certezze, né motivi per restare. Aiutata da un'amica, fugge dalla sua prigione. Più veloce che può, più lontano che può, oltre i cancelli dell'ospedale. Qui incontra Jagger, un ragazzo misterioso che promette di aiutarla a salvare Bale. Snow accetta di seguirlo e in quell'istante il mondo attorno a lei cambia. Sotto i suoi piedi il terreno si trasforma in ghiaccio, e tutto diventa neve e magia. Jagger l'ha portata ad Algid, un regno incantato sul cui trono siede un tiranno sanguinario. Così, in un mondo condannato a un eterno inverno, Snow si troverà a combattere per l'amore e la giustizia. Diventerà ladra, strega e spia, disposta a tutto pur di trovare una risposta alla domanda che più la spaventa: chi è lei davvero?

So basically I was supposed to fulfill some kind of major destiny in a month. And I had no idea this place even existed until now. (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ REALLY? REALLY?! I love retellings.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review on NetGalley. Thank you to the author, Danielle Paige, and the publisher, Bloomsbury Children's, for this opportunity.

2.5/5 This review can also be found at Dana and the Books Stealing Snow was one of my most anticipated reads for 2016. A retelling of The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Andersen sounded so exciting and exactly what I needed, but I can't help but feel a bit let down. Danielle Paige's technical writing st Leggi tutto
This is a thrilling and enchanting retelling of The Snow Queen fairytale. It is more gritty in style and it has Snow Yardley, 17 years old, residing in upstate New York at the Whittaker mental asylum, accustomed to taking the 7 dwarfs, her meds, the pills for every emotion. Her mother is responsible Leggi tutto
First kisses sometimes wake slumbering princesses, undo spells, and spark happily ever afters. Mine broke Bale. The thing is I actually really enjoyed Dorothy Must Die . It's such a fun re-imagining of The Wizard of Oz where the world is so exciting to explore. I was ecstatic to hear Danielle Pa

So basically I was supposed to fulfill some kind of major destiny in one month. And had no idea this place even existed until now. Oh, I don’t even know where to even start with this review! To be blunt, Stealing Snow was awful. When you see a book getting only one-star reviews and DNFs before it
