i'm rereading tbosas rn and 'snow is uniquely evil/has a Scary Personality Disorder' i think is a takeaway you can get from the text especially if you're reading with that mindset but i believe that it is a rather stifling and boring take on the story and themes, which are pretty multifaceted imo and boil it down to a simple morality tale on bad boyfriends rather than the really tragic corruption arc it is.
