Query: Not as good as other Maguire Novels...

I want to start out by saying that I really enjoy Gregory Maguire novels. I think that they are fantastic and very imaginative.But...I found this re-telling of Snow White to be lacking. I enjoyed the new twists that Maguire added. The Borgias were a great addition and his Snow White was very sympathetic. But the story was very short and none of the characters, except for Bianca (Snow White) and Lucrezia Borgia (Wicked Step-Mother) were fleshed out at all.The mirror itself was a problem. Very little detail was given about how it became magical. There was a little bit of an explanation, but nothing substantial. I expected more from this author.In short, I was very disappointed. It seemed like Maguire wrote an outline and someone else actually wrote the book. And not very well.
