Book Review: Stitching Snow by R.C. Lewis

Princess Snow is missing.

Her home planet is filled with violence and corruption at the hands of King Matthias and his wife as they attempt to punish her captors. The king will stop at nothing to get his beloved daughter back—but that’s assuming she wants to return at all.

Essie has grown used to being cold. Temperatures on the planet Thanda are always sub-zero, and she fills her days with coding and repairs for the seven loyal drones that run the local mines.

When a mysterious young man named Dane crash-lands near her home, Essie agrees to help the pilot repair his ship. But soon she realizes that Dane’s arrival was far from accidental, and she’s pulled into the heart of a war she’s risked everything to avoid. With the galaxy’s future—and her own—in jeopardy, Essie must choose who to trust in a fiery fight for survival.

MY REVIEW:

Stitching Snow by R.C. Lewis

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Essie is used to a cold planet and is a princess but doesn't want anyone to know. She has been hiding out on this planet for a long time under another name. But when Dane crashes on the planet he asks for help to repair his ship but then she learns he had planned on this crash and everything to follow, She knows the King would like to find her and get her back but what about her stepmother?
This is a sci fi fairytale retelling but I didn't read it that way. I enjoyed the storyline and even though people were comparing it to Cinder, by Marissa Meyer, did not think it was. I saw it as the fairytale retelling.
This book had been sitting on my bookshelf for a long time and I am glad that I finally got to reading it.
