The Sequel to 'The Huntsman': 'Winter's War', focuses less on the Evil Queen vs Snow White and more on Freya, the queen's sister, played by Emily Blunt, who is set against the Huntsman and against his everlasting love.
Freya, like her sister, is endowed with magical powers which come into being once she endures the loss of her man and daughter.
Whilst the evil queen has visions of sentiments and can see into the emotions of others, Freya can project ice.
Her heart is darkened, but her external appearance is as white as the ice she is able to produce.
Her look is reminiscent of the princess in Disney's 'Frozen'.
Freya is embittered by betrayal, and is presented in contrast to Snow White who is pure and warm of heart as well as being 'white' on the inside. Freya, by contrast, blocks her internal purity due to pain.

The story develops with Freya kidnapping children and hardening their hearts, in order to make them a reflection of herself and to distance them from love and family.
The Huntsman is one of these children, and so the sequel is in fact part prequel to the first movie.
He falls in love, staying true to his partner although they are separated
Their love endures and is patient, despite the fact that his 'monamour' suffers from his supposed abandonment through enchantment. Nevertheless they manage to break the evil spell through the magic of everlasting love
They both go on a quest with the dwarfs to find the mirror which reflects to humans their souls and which draws out their evil deeds. The mirror's extraordinary power resuscitates the Evil Queen, Charlize Theron.
Set in a magical world of mythical creatures, the film is filled with make believe elements, except for the love that the Huntsman has for his sweetheart- which is real- although fairy tale like
The medallion- which she gives him as a gift from the heart- saves him, and it's circular shape protects him literally. At the same time as this, her love strengthens him throughout-although she isn't with him physically at times.
Their union at the end revives the whole Kingdom, and this is the mystery of enduring love.
Some fairy tales do come true.
His uniquely shaped medallion saves him and seals his circle of life with her.
