The book was pretty short so I'm going to try (and most likely fail) to keep my review short as well.
Finding Aurora follows a "caster" (someone who can manipulate the universe's energy to cast spells) and the prince of the kingdom as they set out on a journey to wake princess Aurora who was cursed with eternal sleep 100 years ago.
Like I already mentioned it was a very fast read with my version having only being 83 pages. I want to say I finished it in an hour, but even that sounds a little dramatic. Now I can appreciate some good fluff in most of my books (especially my fantasy books) but there is something to be said for the author just telling the story without a bunch of flounce and filigree. If anything I would recommend you read it just because it is so fast. I think it would be perfect for overcoming a reading slump as well.
Ultimately, it was an entertaining, fast-paced read with lots of action and good representation. What more can I ask of a book?
