Prince of Thorns & Nightmares by Linsey Miller
4.75
This gave an interesting twist to the Sleeping Beauty tale. What if Prince Phillip had magic of his own? Would that change the trajectory of the story? Where would that leave him with Princess Aurora?
It was nice getting to see a lot of character development from Phillip throughout the book. We get to see him as someone really flawed, especially in the beginning, so it was great watching him come into his own – with or without magic.
I especially enjoyed Phillip's relationship with Briar Rose (especially their banter!) and the whole dreams thing. But I think my favorite part of this book was how much of a simp Phillip is for Briar Rose HEHEHE And the addition of Johanna was a nice touch as well! I loved her sibling-like dynamic with Phillip.
Knocked off a .25 because of the book's small bit of predictability.The little slip-up by Phrike once Phillip and the gang got both artifacts pretty much gave her and the other fairies away.
Despite that, I still enjoyed the story and would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys fairytale retellings. Or to anyone who, as a child, had a crush on Prince Phillip... like me LOL
