Oooohhh, I really like this book. I've reread it almost ten times. "The Shadow Queen" is about a princess named Lorelai who fights to regain her kingdom, Ravenspire, and bring peace to it's people, saving it from her evil stepmother Queen…

Overall, this book was very interesting, and engaging. This novel was about how Lorelai has a wicked stepmother, who she needs to kill, as she is the only person who can kill her. Lorelai and Irina are the only ones who have magic, so it…

It was a good retelling of the Snow White fairytale, with a new twist of magic, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Definitely worth reading!

“The Shadow Queen” by C.J Redwine is the first installment in the “Ravenspire” series. This book is a retelling of the classic, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” but with many more twists. Unlike Snow White, Lorelai is a fierce, strong,…

Oh my word... This book. It's been a while since I've read a good re-telling of a princess. They're predictable and get boring after a while.... But Redwine knew what she was doing! "snow" was strong and determined and I didn't…

The character is very relatable because I know I would fight for what is rightfully mine. Check out my review of "The Shadow Queen" on my blog at: http://axarr.blogspot.com/2016/08/review-wednesday-shadow-queen-by-cj.html

If you love Snow White, fairytale retellings, or simply enjoy books on magic, dragons, betrayal, loss and love, this may be a good book for you (but that's just my opinion). Having been on the run since they were little, the presumed dead…

With an evil queen far scarier than those found in most Disney Snow White retellings, a strong "Snow" that is definitely not going to fall for the apple trick, and a shapeshifting dragon/huntsman, this book is fast-paced and entertaining!…

Well, just look at that cover. It's gorgeous and disturbing and lovely. As for the content within: I liked that Lorelai's key heroic feature was her constant analyzation and awareness of the world around her. She was very general-esque…

There's a very Tamora Pierce-esque feel to this book. And similarly, can be enjoyed by a younger audience. Sure, the magic isn't explained very well, and things start to drag and get repetitive (especially in Kol's case) but it's a fun,…

This reads like fanfiction... I couldn't finish it. The overall concept and story isn't awful, but the execution leaves much to be desired.

The Shadow Queen by C.J. Redwine is the best example of a re-telling that I’ve come across. At least the way a re-telling is defined in my head. I’ve read a couple others by other authors (Cinder, Alice), and while they were definitely…
