I LOVED this fairy tale mash up of The Little Match Girl & The Snow Queen and how well it blended the two stories together! I haven't really read much about The Little Match Girl before but this was an excellent retelling as far as I am concerned and I thought Princess Safara used the matches well. Cassian made an excellent Snow King in this story and him and Safara's relationship was fun to see unfold. Safara's pet rock Douglas was also a fun little addition at times. The epilogue at the end was so sweet and I was happy with how everything came together for them. I look forward to reading more of Abigail Manning's Retellings in the future.
