3.0

This one was my least favourite of these - it's not a bad book but it was a bit too long. And I never really cared for Sleeping Beauty so this one wasn't that interesting to me.

This book is longer - and a lot of it is describing - and I don't mind descriptions but the detailed descriptions but those made this book seem much loner than it was. I also didn't really care for all the random caps/yelling especially when it felt out of place.

That being said, I loved the general story. What if Philip failed to slay the dragon and he fell asleep alongside Aurora and Maleficent takes over the dream world - they have to travel through Aurora's dreams to defeat her - and that part was good but the story was a bit too long and I didn't really find myself caring for any of the characters or the romance between the main two characters. I never really cared for the love between Phillip and Aurora but this book made me like their romance even less.
