It was well produced & I liked the addition of the classical music. A little bit more intense/dramatic then I was looking for at the moment

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I enjoyed this Audible Original! Was a fun listen, would have loved to have had a narrator in between dialogue sets to set the scene.

This was a really solid take on Sleeping Beauty, with gorgeous music and very good voices. It touches on themes of maternity, misogyny, and revenge, while not being overly obvious about it.

This was different . . .
But I liked it. It made the King the villain (which technically he was in the live action movie). It also didn't necessarily make Maleficent the hero or the villain. She was kind of . . . both. It was different and I liked the twist.

Marty Ross’s reimagining of this famous fairy tale story draws on the worlds of folktale and the Brothers Grimm, while the LSO's specially-commissioned new recording, conducted by Gavin Sutherland, weaves through the drama like a rich and majestic film score.
I listened to this on Audible. I wanted to listen to this because I like the Disney movie and I like fairy tales. When I first started listening to this, I thought to myself,”This is different from the Disney movie. I don’t know if I’m going to like this audio drama or not.” When I got to the middle of this audio drama, I thought about bailing on this book because I didn’t like the dream sequences between Aurora and Peter that much and I felt like it made the story drag but I decided to go ahead and finish this drama so I could find out how it ends and I’m glad I decided to finish listening because I liked the ending. This is different from the Disney movie but I had fun listening to this and it had beautiful music in it.
