This review was originally posted on my blog, Creativity's Corner In essence, this book is a modernized retelling of the fairy tale East of the Sun, West of the Moon. I love fairy tale retellings, and though this particular fairy tale isn't my favorite, it is one of my friends' favorites and so I have read a fair amount of retellings of this story. Of course, the problem then is I am very picky about my fairytale retellings. I expect a lot from them. This one did a passable job, but it unfortunately hasn't made my favorites list. One of the things I really liked was the modern setting of the retelling. Durst did a really good job updating the tale, and making it plausible in modern day, at least at the beginning. I liked the flavor of Native American tales she brought to the story, and I liked that it was up in the Arctic Circle - while the Norse versions are fun they lend themselves more to a fantastical retelling and to truly make this a modern day tale, I think an Arctic Circle research lab was the only way to go. The main thing that would have pushed this up onto the favorites list was a little more development in the characters. I felt that Durst jumped straight into the story without giving us much time to get to know the main characters, which is ok as long as you give us a chance to get to know them later. I never felt it, though, and I was less invested in what happened as a result. Overall, though, an interesting retelling that deserves a read by anyone interested in this fairy tale or fairy tale retellings in general.
