About this deal

This is so not a children's book; it's very adult in its themes and in its prose. Yet, it doesn't quite ascend into the places it could have gone - the magical realism masking the utter tragedy of the Revolution; nor the fast-paced thrill ride of a Russian spy novel (personally I would have loved the former) - or live up to its full potential. Blood Red Snow" was hampered by the uneven quality of the writing. This book could be elevated to the pantheon of great war books with a little help. While maps are supplied, they are amateurishly drawn and it's difficult to separate German from Russian movements. In addition, because it's a diary, it's really choppy. Also, the author writes as if he is a spectator and not a participant. Very little internal thought processes are included. He's almost like a robot going through the motions. Although he mentions friends and comrades, he never fleshes them out and a few passing words about how he misses them are not enough to evoke the idea that he has any real feeling for them. They seem to be just bit players. There is also a little too much of the "who me?" writing where the author tries to deny or absolve himself of any wrong-doing. It seems unlikely that he was not at least a witness, if not a participant, to a host of travesties and yet he often plays himself off as a victim, something we see in much German war literature. A follow-up article three days later erroneously concluded that the coloration was caused by meteoric iron deposits: [6] The time for princes and tsars and grand duchesses and especially holy madmen was gone. In its place came a world of war and revolution, of tanks and telephones, of murder and assassination. The bear had already become what it had been waiting to be, and the men who set it on its journey changed too. Lev became Trotsky, Vladimir took the name Lenin, and they stepped into a bright and furious modern world; blood red, and snow white.”

Luny is a YouTuber who was kidnapped off-screen and tortured by Rinny. She was strangled and forced to drink a white rabbit malino’s blood. When Luny and her fellow captives, Bloon, Copper, Elma, and Carl, broke out, they tied Rinny up. Luny was the most vengeful one, insisting they torture Rinny like what she did to them. She sliced Rinny up with a razor blade, hooked her up to a nose tube, and placed her on a heating pad. Rinny broke out and got her revenge by shooting Luny in the throat with a neurotoxin-tipped crossbow, ensuring the sheep had a slow and excruciating death. Canton, Tim KC (April 13, 2021).

Blood Red Snow White is a fictionalized biography of the writer Arthur Ransome during his extended stay in Russia. However, it is not like any other biography you are likely to read: part fairytale, part spy story, part romance we do not only follow Arthur Ransome, writer, journalist and potential spy but also the fate of the Russian bear in its rebellion against the regime of the Tsar. This type of snow is common during the summer in alpine and coastal polar regions worldwide, such as the Sierra Nevada of California. Here, at altitudes of 10,000 to 12,000 feet (3,000–3,600m), the temperature is cold throughout the year, and so the snow has lingered from winter storms. Compressing the snow by stepping on it or making snowballs leaves it looking red. Walking on watermelon snow often results in getting bright red soles and pink trouser cuffs. THE WOODCUTTER, HAVING MISSED THE BEAR, came home to his grandchildren, his little boy and girl, and, because nothing made them happier in the world, he told them a fairy tale.
