Meera Trehan’s Snow is captivating. It’s beautiful and intriguing and will linger in my mind for a long time.

Trehan weaves in themes of loneliness, belonging, forgiveness, and power… Poignantly beautiful.
—Kirkus Reviews
Readers who appreciate strong worldbuilding will likely be impressed with how vivid and complete Mistmir feels.
—Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
Trehan utilizes a quiet, dreamlike tone, lending to the retold fairy tale ambiance of the novel as the kingdom’s tragic history unfolds in flashbacks and tales from Ela’s storybook. Past and present and magic and science blend together in an introspective manner that assists in the gradual peeling back of this story’s many layers to reveal its secrets
