    A magical retelling of The Nutcracker - a beautiful book
  

*by B***L on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 January 2023*

I really enjoyed reading Midnight in Everwood by M.A. Kuzniar.  This is an adult retelling of the story of The Nutcracker, which incidentally I have never read.  The book follows the story of Marietta Stelle, a young woman who loves nothing more than ballet but is being forced by her family and society's conditions into a life that she does not want.  A strange and mysterious man moves into her neighbourhood and captivates her family with his enchanting toys and inventions.  Marietta is wary of Dr Drosselmeier, who wishes Marietta to be his wife, and appears that he will stop at nothing to have her.  Marietta yearns for the ballet and resists the advances of Drosselmeier.Drosselmeier creates an elaborate set for Marietta’s final ballet performance, to be held on Christmas Day, However after exploring the set on the stroke of midnight on Christmas Eve following an argument with Drosselmeier she discovers it to be enchanted.  She is transported to a snowy forest, where she experiences an enchanted adventure.  Ice giants, enchanted forests, frozen sugar palaces, an evil magical king, fairies, gingerbread houses and the captain of the Kings guard.  Marietta becomes the prisoner of the evil sadistic King Gelum, along with two others Dellara and Pirlipata.  She forms a bond with these other women as they struggle to stay alive and obtain their freedom.  Along the way she discovers love and friendship.I loved this book, it is written in the style of magical realism, a style that paints a realistic view of the world while also adding magical elements to it. It is a very atmospheric, evocative novel, full of magic. I liked the characters and enjoyed the retelling of The Nutcracker. This book is very well written, with some beautiful prose. I really loved the world that Kuzniar has created.

    Loved it!
  

*by R***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 December 2023*

This book was so enchanting. It puts a unique spin on the classical Nutcracker. The story offers a good dose of romance, drama, and magical realism, with well-rounded characters and a fast-paced plotline. It's a perfect read around Christmas, plus the cover is just gorgeous. Highly recommend it to anyone who loves dark fairytale retellings.

    Overbearingly sweet
  

*by B***A on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 December 2023*

As retellings go, it's beautifully done. It's perfect for the festive season and winter nights. Fair warning you will be craving sweets, chocolate, patisseries, and all manor of desserts. So have something ready.For those who love plenty of descriptions, you will thoroughly enjoy this book. The world of Everwood is magical and enchanting, but darker themes lie underneath the sugar coating.I wasn't expecting this to be more gothic, I was anticipating a cosy winter Wonderland but I feel this is on me for cover buying and forgetting the contents of the blurb.This was my second attempt to read this. Last year I just wasn't feeling it and found the character of Marietta too naive and immature, which is how a character in her circumstances would be expected to behave, however, it just wasn't doing it for me. On this second attempt, I still struggled with her as a character, and then further on, there weren't any characters at all I enjoyed reading about. By the time the events of the book kicked in I just wasn't really bothered about the outcome.The sweet language that adds to the festive charm is also a slight hindrance, there's so much of it dusting every page that it feels too repetitive, and I quickly grew tired of it but as a retelling of The Nutcracker this is probably to be expected, but I just found it an excessive amount.Overall the story is okay, the characters were not keeping me invested, the sugary details became too much, and I was forcing myself to finish it. This book may not have been the right one for me but I have no doubt it will delight and enchant others.
