There's a castle i think made of mirror or glass and a queen that is really evil and sends her guards to hunt down the kids. At some point they get split and each has their journey for a bit. I don't think they has special powers but that's a bit of a blur. Also not exactly sure but I think at some point they manage to get out of the forest and they end up inside the castle.
It possibly was part of a series because the end was more of a cliffhanger and seemed to be continuing in another book. I only read the first in 2013.
If it helps, the cover had a grey colour palette with the evil queen that has really long black hair and the pointy and fragile castle in the background that looked like a thin pile of glass.
Many thanks for taking your time to read that! I don't have much hope but maybe one day I'll actually find the book that got me into fantasy! Any suggestions of which book that might be are really appreciated!
