I initially liked Dane’s character, but it was like I could only glimpse him on the page. However, I wish the worldbuilding and imagery were more drawn-out. It was fun piecing together all of the sci-fi versions of the fairytale, but the fairytale pieces didn’t distract from the story, only added interesting twists. I enjoyed how this was a retelling of Snow White. And I absolutely loved her misfit drones, especially Dimwit, a shining character on the page (despite being a drone!). Once we begin to know her character better, her motivations are clear, and her past is interesting.
She’s a strong but well-rounded character, and it’s rare to find a heroine who loves math, coding, puzzles, and mechanical engineering, not to mention cage fighting, in a book. The first fifty pages didn’t rope me in, but once Essie leaves the cold planet of Thanda, the story becomes much more interesting.Įssie’s character is by far the most interesting part of the story. I absolutely loved parts of this book, but other parts bored me.
