An interesting and captivating retelling of Sleeping Beauty. If you're a fan of dark fantasy, fairy tales, and a (somehow) relatable antihero, I highly recommend. Very much looking forward to the second and final book in this duology, Misrule.

This was such a good read. The added depth and history of this classic tale was fantastic. The pain and rage of the main character is so relatable it make you want to be a villian too.

feels like a set up for the next book — which i’m not complaining about because i’m sure it will be great, but would have been cooler maybe in one big volume like priory? idk 🤷 i liked alyce and aurora, but was so annoyed the whole book when alyce was constantly getting shit on. hope she kills them all in the next book! 😜
