This is a fine Sleeping Beauty retelling. There is a lot of telling instead of showing which tended to leave me with questions and feeling like not a lot happened during the 400 pages.
Finger snaps for our platonic partnership between the main characters. Their dynamics, though unique at times, were fun to navigate and their banter was fun.
I enjoyed the gender-bent retelling, but I wish our main characters had more opportunities to showcase their awesomeness and not get so tangled up in the romance and the traveling to save the kingdom.
