Book Review: Stitching Snow

I read another fairy tale meets future meets robots meets dystopia...and IT ROCKED MY WORLD!

Stitching Snow
R.C. Lewis
Stitching Snow
Princess Snow is missing.

Her home planet is filled with violence and corruption at the hands of King Matthias and his wife as they attempt to punish her captors. The king will stop at nothing to get his beloved daughter back—but that’s assuming she wants to return at all.

Essie has grown used to being cold. Temperatures on the planet Thanda are always sub-zero, and she fills her days with coding and repairs for the seven loyal drones that run the local mines.

When a mysterious young man named Dane crash-lands near her home, Essie agrees to help the pilot repair his ship. But soon she realizes that Dane’s arrival was far from accidental, and she’s pulled into the heart of a war she’s risked everything to avoid. With the galaxy’s future—and her own—in jeopardy, Essie must choose who to trust in a fiery fight for survival.


I am totally digging the new wave of fairy tales that have been coming out.  I know there are a TON and they may get pretty cookie cutter, like the dystopian books and vampire books got, but it's still to the point that they are cool :D

I love science fiction a lot, which is why I liked Cinder so much.  If you read Cinder, this is a new book by a new author that is in the same vein.  AND, as far as I know, it's a standalone book so you don't have to worry about when the next 2, 3, or 4 books come out.  The enjoyment is all packed in to one incredible book!

This story combines some fast paced drama and action with some slower parts where Lewis explains her characters and the history of what has happened to Princess Snow.  Princess Snow is a girl in pink that can't fend for herself.  She's a robot-making, planet-saving power house that will leave you breathless from the first page.  GET IT NOW!
