Don't be fooled - this is NOT a fairy tale retelling. Well, not in the classical sense, and I lOVE fairy tale retellings in the classical sense, so I was. Fooled that is. And disappointed. I don't even know if this book was any good because I was disappointed I wasn't reading a fairy tale retelling. *sigh*
dark emotional slow-paced

Thought it was going to fantasy retelling but that was a very good historical fiction with the "sleeping beauty" fairytale used as an important motif-theme in the kid protagonist's investigation.
