A review by rgyger
Fairest Son by H.S.J. Williams
5.0
It has admittedly been a little while since this novella was released, and honestly I am wishing that I had read it long before now. This is an amazingly well written narrative of Snow White and makes it feel like something new.
The writing style is highly reminiscent of many original fairy tales, while the story itself is far more modern. With a gender bent cast of characters, the huntress is Williams' heroine, a strong woman who has earned that title, and the prince is her "damsel in distress", though both characters do some saving of each other.
The only thing that could have made this better is perhaps if there were a few more of the wonderful art pieces like those shown at the beginning and end. But maybe for a future edition.
I have provided an honest review after receiving an ecopy from the author.
