About this audiobook
From Jennifer Donnelly, author of the acclaimed New York Times bestseller Stepsister, comes a fairytale retelling that'll forever change the way you think about strength, power, and the real meaning of "happily ever after."Once upon a time, a girl named Sophie rode into the forest with the queen's huntsman. Her lips were the color of ripe cherries, her skin as soft as new-fallen snow, her hair as dark as midnight. When they stopped to rest, the huntsman pulled out his knife . . . and took Sophie's heart.It shouldn't have come as a surprise. Sophie had heard the rumors, the whispers. They said she was too kind and foolish to rule -- a waste of a princess. A disaster of a future queen. And Sophie believed them. She believed everything she'd heard about herself, the poisonous words people use to keep girls like Sophie from becoming too powerful, too strong . . .With the help of seven mysterious strangers, Sophie manages to survive. But when she realizes that the jealous queen might not be to blame, Sophie must find the courage to face an even more terrifying enemy, proving that even the darkest magic can't extinguish the fire burning inside every girl, and that kindness is the ultimate form of strength.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wow, I was not expecting this too be so good but I ended up loving it!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A retelling of The Queen and her Huntsman. This book was slow paced and felt a bit repetitive. Considering the main character, Sophia's name stands for wisdom, she was quite gullible. The Queen manages to attempt murder 3 times which was a bit unbelievable. I liked the morals shared throughout the story and I came to love Sophie in the end.
