(4) YA Burdened with a glass heart, Queen Mina struggles to love her fifteen-year-old stepdaughter, Lynet. Lynet resents having been magically formed from snow by the king's magician in tribute to her dead mother. Fighting expectations, Mina and Lynet (in alternating viewpoints) learn to collaborate rather than compete. Bashardoust's appealing ambitions for this female-centered revision of "Snow White" are counteracted by excessive length and pacing issues.
