Tiffany (About to Read)'s Reviews > Twin Roses

“Snow White and Rose Red” is not a story that I was familiar with before reading “Twin Roses.” I was actually a bit confused going into it because I wasn’t sure if this was the same Snow White I’m familiar with from Disney movies and other retellings. I don’t believe that it’s the same Snow White, but it was an enjoyable story nonetheless!

In “Twin Roses,” we meet Pearl and Ruby, sisters who have always shared everything and are a bit worried about their curse hurting their relationship. The story takes place just as their curse begins, so we do get to see how it impacts their relationship.

Overall, I liked the character development and general flow of the story. The Beau Rivage crew almost always dreaded their curses. Not many people actually wants a fairy tale life and seeing how each character responds to their fate is one of my favorite things about the stories.

This story is completely independent of the other two novels in the series, so if you don’t feel like paying for the short story then no worries. If you’re a fan of the world Sarah Cross has created though and just genuinely enjoy her retellings, it’s definitely worth the read!
