It’s just a fun time when a story you know fairly well gets recast in a new light that includes interplanetary travel and advanced technology while also juggling some good old-fashioned court politics and overthrowing a corrupt monarchy.
Stitching Snow reminded me that I still do like reading fantastical space adventures, especially where they meet fairy tales. So my space-y books tend to get left behind for a while. Despite being a huge Star Wars fan and thoroughly enjoying sci-fi, I’m often not all that drawn to “space books” or space adventures. I bought this book a while back but it’s been sitting on my shelf, unread, for ages. Her website is at Twist: Snow White set in an interplanetary space setting between four planets, where the dwarfs are robot drones and Snow gets a lot more done than sleep in a glass coffin. Rosemarie Howard lives in a 100-year-old house on Main Street in Springville, Utah. She's also the author of “ Stitching Snow,” which was published in 2014. Intended for a young adult audience, the book is an engaging, well-told story that features a strong heroine.īorn in San Francisco and raised in Utah, Lewis teaches high school math.
There is some violence, including an incident in which a person being trampled by a crowd is described, but there is no swearing or other foul language. Refreshingly, the romantic relationship portrayed develops after trust and friendship are established and does not go beyond kissing. Flashbacks of childhood memories that provide important background information about Liddi and her family are effectively interspersed between chapters.Īlthough there is a romance, the story focuses on the importance of family, honesty and true friendship. Liddi does not speak for more than 80 percent of the book, but readers hear and see the story through her eyes. Liddi discovers they are trapped in interplanetary conduits, and she is the only one who can save them - but she must do it without using her voice and in a foreign world, relying on the kindness of others, including a dignitary named Tiav. Her eight brothers have not been seen for several days, which is highly unusual.
Soon-to-be heiress of a technology empire that spans seven worlds, 16-year-old Liddi Jantzen, the youngest of nine children, is in trouble. Lewis is an interplanetary sci-fi retelling of “The Wild Swans” by Hans Christian Andersen.
