Sleeping Beauty was my favourite fairy tale as a kid so I was really excited to read this book

I enjoyed the nods towards the movie like the fairies, Mal the dragon & the sleeping curse. However, it was still its own original story. The movie is very Knight in shining armour, but I enjoyed how Aurelia can hold her own in this story. 

This book for the most part felt more YA to me than new adult. The smut felt out of place with the rest of the book and it was added to make it New Adult. 

Overall, it was an enjoyable read

Thanks, Willow Haven Press & NetGalley for the eARC
