This was a good review and I am glad you didn't go off comparing the books but gave us some insight to this one. It sounds like a decent book with a bit of a slow beginning, so it's a shame about the similarities.Olivia's Catastrophehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706765857201768908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176103200738448185.post-50929750762627095782014-10-20T09:16:25.031+02:002014-10-20T09:16:25.031+02:00I haven't read The Lunar Chronicles, but I'...I haven't read The Lunar Chronicles, but I've heard enough of it to see the comparison between that and Stitching Snow. While this book does sound interesting, and you've stated all your points really well, they fall more towards the negatives and turn-offs for me. I really like this review- I can see you've put a lot of effort to gather your thoughts and put them down. Absolutely great review, Tanja! <br /><br />Sarika @ <a href="http://thereaddicts.blogspot.in/" rel="nofollow">The Readdicts</a>The Readdictshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05097650583426983309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176103200738448185.post-52427523779571554562014-10-17T18:25:47.201+02:002014-10-17T18:25:47.201+02:00I think it would be hard not to compare any kind o...I think it would be hard not to compare any kind of retelling to the Lunar Chronicles, tbh. :P I've only read Cinder, but it's definitely the best fairytale retelling I've read, ever, but yeah... Stitching Snow <i>does</i> sound very similar to Cinder. Not sure I what I think about that. <br /><br />Puoh, slow beginnings are the bane of my existence -- you know how impatient I am with books. But I'm glad that the romance at least was good! I can't get enough of those full-of-chemistry relationships, they're just so sweet. <3 And it sounds like the romance between Dane and Essie was done really well. <br /><br />Don't think I'll give this one a go, since I wasn't that interested in it to begin with. I understand that main characters are important, but a story isn't only composed of one character, you know? It's awful whenever an author decides to focus solely on the protagonist while everyone else pretty much fades into the background. Anyway, this book sounded like it had a lot of potential, but only lived up to, like, half of it. :( <br /><br />Thanks for the informative review, though!

On one hand it sounds really good and I love me my slow burning romance, but. I really really love Lunar Chronicles and I think I might spend the whole book comparing it and just ruin the whole experience.<br /><br />Great review! =)Shay(The Story Goes...)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01151431634999072166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176103200738448185.post-48094642024170155792014-10-13T22:16:12.974+02:002014-10-13T22:16:12.974+02:00I skipped this as I just didn't get a good vib...I skipped this as I just didn't get a good vibe. I am sorry to hear that it was too much like the Lunar Chronciles, while I love that series, I don't want a rip off. I am going to stick firm and skip this one. Thanks for the helpful info.

I started reading it and for me I just preferred the classics, and it didn't do it any justice for some reason. But given that the character relationship were dominated more from the MC which must have been frustrating, I'm not sure whether to give this one a go. I do like to have a collection of characters to get to know. I think secondary characters really compliment the novel.

I can completely understand why you were unable to not notice the differences. I do that very often too and there's a certain author (who I won't name) who straight out gets inspiration from other authors and tries to make the book her own and it's hard for me not to notice the similarities when I read her books. <br />Anyways, it's such a shame that the focus is solely on the main character. I want to see the secondary cast be important too when I read a book. Also, the villains sound pathetic. <br />I guess I'll be skipping this for sure. <br />Thanks for the helpful review, Tanja.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176103200738448185.post-11142626870673590702014-10-13T12:42:02.603+02:002014-10-13T12:42:02.603+02:00I'm really curious about this one--I never act...I'm really curious about this one--I never actually new that it was fairy tale retellings set in the future, which makes me even more curious.

I think fairy tale re-tellings used to be such a rarity but now they're becoming too common and, sadly, losing their spark as a result. Still, glad you found redeeming qualities within this one and thanks for such an honest review, Tanja!
