Last night we watched "Snow White and the Huntsman". The film is nice. The story engaging, but what I enjoyed best was seeing two of Nora's books in it: "Key of Valor" (Key Trilogy) and "Winter Rose".
When you like and read Nora you know that's bound to happen - hence this blog - so, if you like NR, read those books, go search for the film - you won't regret it.

The first part of the movie (before heroine's rescuing if you want) looks like "taken" from one of Nora's best books: "Winter Rose"
Through it, as far as he could see, the world was white.
The sun was a dim haze behind the white curtain that draped the sky, but it managed to sparkle a bit on the ice that surrounded the castle. In the distance, he saw the shadows of the forest, hints of black and gray smothered in snow. In the north, far north, mountains speared up.
White against white.
Closer in, at the feet of the castle, the snow spread in sheets and blankets. He saw no movement, no tracks. No life.
Were they alone here? he wondered. He and the woman who called herself a queen?
Then he saw her...
Winter Rose
