A review by tmleblanc
Briar and Rose and Jack by Katherine Coville
2.0
I was really rooting for this one. A re-telling and a mash-up of Sleeping Beauty and Jack and and the Beanstalk sounded so good. Unfortunately, the story never quite comes together and I felt it drug on too long.
I am also doubtful it is a good fit for the middle grade audience. The vocabulary seems a bit high for the grade level, plus the length of the book and ages of the M.C.s (they are about 9 when the story starts and 16 at the end) seems to speak toward a higher reading level.
I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
