Sleeping Beauty retelling with lots of twists. This was so fun! Considering it's a novella I didn't think I'd get super absorbed into the world but the sleeping beauty multiverse really hooked me. Zinnia is witty and hilarious and her narration is everything. She doesn't let her illness define her and grabs this adventure with both hands. I also ADORED Charm and Prim. Charm is the perfect balance to Zinnia and Prim is more than what she seems. I just wish this was longer so all of the side characters could be more fleshed out. Will definitely pick up the next one.
