Este libro me gustó mucho, es una perspectiva nueva a las historias que ya conocemos y amamos, pero con un giro que hace que se sientan frescas mientras mantienen el toque de nostalgia. Me parece una lectura ideal para cualquier persona, desde pequeños a adultos !

Another fun fairytale from Kim Bussing, Snow White and the Dragon (or, Sleeping Beauty and the Seven Dwarfs) sends Snow away from the castle to a hidden home in a forest where Rose has been raised. There are twists and turns everywhere in this story. A wicked stepmother who isn't what she seems? Check. Dwarfs roaming secret tunnels in the castle? Check. Magical huntsman on the lookout for Snow White? Check. A sleeping curse afflicting the land? Check. Who is the real villain and how are the girls going to solve their troubles? With the help of their friends and their own selves. These Princess Swap books are not the typical damsel in distress saved by a man books. These are thirteen year old princesses drawing on their own inner strength.

I received an advance reader copy for free. All opinions are my own.

This is a fun, fast, and clever take on both Snow White and Sleeping Beauty, and is a clever take on yet another fairy tale — Snow White and Rose Red — and it’s just … fun. The girls, both nearly 14, are strong, clever, kind and resourceful. For younger readers who enjoy stories about princesses or just enjoy fairy tale retellings, this could be a fun book. For older audiences, well, this is a fun little YA aimed at a slightly younger audience. It’s a book to enjoy if you take it for what it is, and don’t expect it to be anything else.

The writing is good, the pacing is fast, and the evil witch queen is well done and cleverly handled. Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for the ARC.

I received a free copy of, Snow White and the Dragon,or Sleeping Beauty and The Seven Dwarfs, by Kim Bussing, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This is book 2 of 2 in The Princess Swap Series. Rose has a curse on her and Princess Snow, has a truly evil step mother. Rose and Princess Snow do not know who to trust anymore. This was a really good read, I really enjoyed it.

This a cute fairytale with a twist. Preteen to teenagers would enjoy this book. I would have enjoyed more illustrations in the book.

Fun twisted fairytales for teens/preteens depending on reading level. Absolutely creatively genius. Nothing like I've read before. My niece and I really enjoyed the twists and turns of these stories and seeing some long time favorite princesses in a whole different light.

Do you like fairytales? Do you like fairytales with a twist? This is the story for you. I read this with my little cousin over a few nights and we enjoyed the fun twists to our classic princesses. There were giggles to be had over how silly the concept is to swap our favorite princesses stories, but they were written so well you can almost believe that this is how the original story was intended.
Thank you #NetGalley and publishers for this ARC. I can’t wait to buy a physical copy for our bookshelf.
