👑Me he puesto con este libro, 𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙧 & 𝘼𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙧: 𝙀𝙡 𝙥𝙧𝙞́𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙥𝙚 𝙙𝙪𝙧𝙢𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙚, y menuda sorpresa me he llevado.
Resulta que me acabo de enterar de que hay dos Blancanieves distintas y yo aquí viviendo en el error.Para que no os pase lo mismo, os cuento la diferencia: la Blancanieves clásica es la del espejo, la manzana y los siete enanitos, mientras que la del cuento de "Blancanieves y Roja Rosa" es una chica que vive con su hermana en el bosque y no tiene nada que ver con la de la madrastra.
Son cuentos independientes que originalmente no interactúan entre sí.El libro es una movida de fantasía de la autora Stella Tack que le da una vuelta de tuerca a los cuentos clásicos que ya conocemos.
Lo interesante es que, al ser un retelling, la autora mete en la coctelera elementos de distintos cuentos para crear un mundo nuevo y propio, haciendo que personajes que nunca se cruzaron convivan bajo las reglas de su trama.
Básicamente, coge esos mitos y los mete en un lío nuevo, mucho más oscuro y actual.
Si te gusta el tema, este te tiene enganchada un buen rato viendo por dónde van los tiros con el príncipe durmiente.╲╱╲╱╲╱╲╱╲╱╲╱
