Snow White was a pampered princess stuck in a castle with an evil stepmother, but now she is in a cottage in the woods. She desperately needs to get back to her kingdom, or the stepmother maybe able to usurp the crown. Meanwhile, Rose now finds herself in the castle after having been raised in a simple woodland cottage. The girls’ destinies are entwined in a way that they could have never predicted.
The swap only has a little to do with dragons and only a little to do with dwarves - I didn’t find it as successful as the first Swap book I read. Plus, if you were paying only a tiny bit of attention, the villain is obvious, though the characters in the book seem to have to clue up until the final reveal.
