Well, I guess with "seven" as the common, um, denominator, Justin Richards could not resist welding together fairy tale dwarves with a Doctor Who stage play. The result is nonsensical. Some despot king gets someone to make a machine that will destroy everything. Why would he want that? Never explained. Why would the tradesman build such a machine? How would he know how? Why make it so that it only works with seven keys?

There's no sense behind any of that, but at least the king is poisoned and killed so later, an evil queen can decide she wants the keys so she can...do what? No idea, But Snow White has to stop her. Since the machine requires all seven keys to function, she finds one and destroys it. Oh, no, she doesn't do that. Instead she finds all seven keys, brings them to the room with the Doomsday Machine, and then attempts to destroy them. Really?

Fortunately when she breaks one key, it explodes and blows up...somehow not in her own face, but in the face of the evil queen who pushes her away just as she breaks the key, so that the queen is caught up in the explosion and no one else is harmed. That queen had some great timing.

If it sounds like I thought this was a terrible effort, well, yes. But at least it presents the life lesson that if your actions are dumb enough, everything will work out alright in the end.

But at least the title is fun.

This feels like a fairy tale, and one they'd tell on Gallifrey at that, which should be the bare minimum but Frozen Beauty didn't.

There's some interesting worldbuilding in there about the planet of Winter, and I love just how fairy tale the place is made to sound, the descriptions are excellent for this kind of tale, and the story itself while simple is very fun.

Not too much to say, just a nice time, I'd read this to a kid before bed which I think is the highest praise I can give these.
