this is for the people who have Aurora as their fave disney princess, and wished they fleshed her and phillip more. my only complaint is i wish the book was longer

IM NEVER RECOVERING! I wish this was the extended version of the animated movie but alas. at least we have this book

It’s not terrible it’s a retelling of sleeping beauty in the point of view of Prince Phillip. It really interesting and a cool take on the story. Not amazing but not terrible either!

Oh this was just perfect. Sleeping Beauty is my favorite Disney movie and this was a perfect homage to it, while still adding new content that fits. Some scenes are taken directly from the movie, so I could absolutely see and hear it in my mind. Getting the perspective of Prince Phillip, the reluctant hero, who feels he has no control over his destiny was great. Plus I loved how Briar Rose and Phillip got a real backstory and believable love story. And Samson will forever be my favorite equine companion. 
This was a quick, utterly delightful read. 

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing a requested copy to review. All opinions are my own.
