Obviously none of you have read his short story prequels which is based on the Grimm fairy tales. These are retellings of fairytales and the world Cameron Jace created is nothing like Mortal Instruments or any other novel mentioned . I do not see how the covers are similar. Read his short stories and you will have a better understanding.

4 Stars!
A lovely read! I'll admit I kinda hated it in the beginning because I thought the humor/quirks in the beginning were a little too childish for me (like Loki's inability to resist saving squirrels), but Cameron Jace's storytelling was too good to pass up.
I may be a bit biased since I'm such a sucker for fairy tales (especially Snow White!) whether they're Disney versions or the original. Though I wasn't a huge fan in the beginning, I slowly warmed up to the story as it progressed. Some sc...more

I had really mixed feelings about this book, even though I ultimately gave it 4 stars. I read all of Cameron Jace's Grimm Diaries Prequels before this, and loved them, so I was really anticipating this book. However, it is geared toward a younger audience than the Prequels were, so it didn't have the same vibe to me.
For one thing, Loki, Axel and Fable all were all kind of annoying to me. I suppose that is just because they were all teenagers and were written as teenagers...but somehow they seeme...more

I'm going to read this just for fun and for the hell of it.
I mean, it's not often you get a book trying to smash 2 books into 1.

Well. There are.
But not so obviously. And from the bunch of other amazing reviewers, you can tell which smashing it is. Actually, you can read the blurb and tell which 2 books it is, if you're on top of your bookish game.

Although I am biased toward Snow White and the Huntsman movie, when I first read about this book I was like:
Because since Neil Gaiman's short story Snow, Glass, Apples, I wished someone would write a long book about what if Snow White was a vampire. Yeah.
then it suddenly hit me that this could be like this:
please make it like the above. I would love it. can't wait to read it
btw it's my first review trying to add animated images. I 've done it yay.

I'm hoping this book is good.
But first thing that came to mind was The Mortal Instruments due to the cover. And also "dreamhunter".
Then I read the rest of the synopsis...not TMI.
Though, it reminds me of Anna Dressed in Blood too.
Well, I'm still going to read it. Just let it be as good as Anna and please have some originality.

I was just listening to Amaranth by Nightwish and it made me think of this book. If you go listen to it, You'll know why.

Anna Dressed in blood + City of Bones. Copy much?
Anna Dressed in Blood: A murderous ghost of a girl filled with rage and fury. And for whatever reason, she spares his life.
Snow White Sorrow: A monster girl filled with rage and hurt. Mysteriously, she lets Loki live.
And Loki looks like an Angel but acts like a jerk. City of Bones?

When is this expected to be released?
As an adult reading a young adult fantasy novel about fairy tales, I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this twist on the famous tale of Snow White and the Huntsman. While the book started out in my opinion a little too slow, lagging at times as the main character, Loki, finally arrived in the city of Sorrow, once Snow White appeared the book's pace was fast and a true page turner.

I think this first book of the Grimm Diaries is superbly written. However, it can't fully be appreciated unless you've read the entire Grimm Diaries Prequels, which, as SWS's predecessors, are amazing . I'm an avid fairy tale fanatic (I even took a college course on fairy tales and mythology in college!). I must say, I'm so impressed how Cameron Jace intermingled fairy tales, urban legends, nursery rhymes, and other mythological creatures into this tale! Uhm. And yes. If you didn't know, he eve...more
{my thoughts} - The main character in this book is Loki Blackstar. He is a half – angel that has been banned from heaven. He is a fascinating character because he is brought back to the ordinary world after being shadowed and left with no recollection of who he is or his past. His main goal throughout the book is to kill vampires in order to be accepted back into heaven which he has been lead to believe is his home. However, when he is unable to meet the quota of ninety-nine dead vampires by his...more
Snow White Sorrow by Cameron Jace
After all the great prequels finally the big book.
It was a wonderful read.
I love the talking animals, and Loki is so cool, sometimes I thought Loki is Cameron, I could be wrong but I've got the idea that a little bit of Cam is in Loki.
The idea with Carmen is so awesome.
It's different than the prequels but that's great, I loved it.
I loved the description of the black forest (I've been there myself) is so awesome.

Similarities to Anna aside...
"He looks like an Angel but acts like jerk."
Coincidence of all coincidences, look what I found in the blurb for City of Bones!
"It's also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and acts a lot like a jerk."
There is something drastically wrong with books that are published even with such blatant copying.

I think if you read the prequels you'll see that whatever similarities the summary share with City of Bones and Anna Dressed in Blood are just coincidental. The story focuses more on the intertwining of fairytales aspect than on vampires and dreamhunters, and from what I've read of the prequels it seems very unique and well thought out. I would give it a chance, personally.

Love the cover.
But... Like everyone has already said the resemblance of this blurb is SO LIKE Anna dressed in blood
And I loved that book, but I hate people copying others ideas and storylines! I mean what's the point?? People WILL pick up the resemblance when Anna dressed in blood was a major hit and Is loved by many fans- including me.

I absolutely LOVED LOVED this book. I have never read Ann Dresses in Blood however I have read City f Bones and I can assure you that I fund no similarities whatsoever. I was hesitant to get this book because of how people were saying its not original. It is original and Jace does a wonderfula job f making this story his own. If you have time....GO READ THIS!! :)
I love that we got to know loki more i was wondering were he went and were he came from. It is true this is a story in its self but reading the perquels does help to get to know everyone to start with i love all of jaces writing. I can not wait for more love his insight on all that is fairy tale and his take on vampires and how he puts them all together i want more
The synopsis has a stunning resemblance to Anna Dressed In Blood and the cover reminds me a lot like the cover templates of the Mortal Instruments series ( particularly City of Lost Souls ). Even the author's last name is an uncanny resemblance to Jace Wayland. ( coincidental much? ) But I am super excited to read this one anyway!

How in the hell can you people leave a review for a book you haven't even read? Judging by some of your idiotic reviews, most of you haven't even read the prequels. This book hasn't even fully been released yet but I won an early copy of it in exchange for a review. I suck at giving great reviews, so here's my input.

hmmm i dunno about this one,....why does it sound so much like "Anna Dressed in Blood"?? It sounds EXACTLY like the plot except switching the characters out for fairy-tale type tropes. Even the name: Loki Blackstar makes me LOL. It just sounds so much like a bad Fanfic name!!
I was really looking forward to read this book since I have read the prequels of Grimm Diaries. Before reading this one I strongly suggested you to read these books. Snow White Sorrow is a young adult book about fairy tales. You have to read from Mr. Jace's point of view if you like these kind of books.
About this book, I like the story line, the characters and I am really glad to read the real story of Snow White finally. I believe that Mr. Jace had made a real research about fairy tales and th...more

Anna Dressed in Blood. The Dreamhunter version.
The PLOT SOUNDS EXACTLY THE SAME. I SWEAR TO GOD.
Now that I think about, it also resembles City of Bones A LOT. The cover..and the angst ridden teenager part. XD
So I could end up hating or really loving this book.
