A gorgeous, feminist fairy tale."--Traci Chee, New York Times bestselling author of The Reader"Melissa Bashardoust\'s debut novel is everything a fairy tale should be."--Jodi Meadows, New York Times bestselling coauthor of My Lady Jane"Dark, fantastical, hauntingly evocative."--Ki.
Only one can win all, while the other must lose everything--unless both can find a way to reshape themselves and their story."In Girls Made of Snow and Glass, Melissa Bashardoust has given us exquisite displays of magic, complex mother-daughter relationships, and gloriously powerful women triumphing in a world that does not want them to be powerful.
Entwining the stories of both Lynet and Mina in the past and present, Girls Made of Snow and Glass traces the relationship of two young women doomed to be rivals from the start.
Now Mina is starting to look at Lynet with something like hatred, and Lynet must decide what to do--and who to be--to win back the only mother she\'s ever known...or else defeat her once and for all.
She gets her wish when her father makes Lynet queen of the southern territories, displacing Mina.
But despite being the dead queen Made flesh, Lynet would rather be like her fierce and regal stepmother, Mina.
Fifteen-year-old Lynet looks just like her late mother, and one day she discovers why: a magician created her out of Snow in the dead queen\'s image, at her father\'s order.
The only catch is that she\'ll have to become a stepmother.
When she moves to Whitespring Castle and sees its king for the first time, Mina forms a plan: win the king\'s heart with her beauty, become queen, and finally know love.
She never guessed that her father cut out her heart and replaced it with one of glass.
