I don't think I've ever read anything like this retelling of Sleeping Beauty, but I loved it!
Once you get past her issues, and I mean ISSUES, with loving Evander, it's stellar.
Ohhh, how I love how Derya's character is written; she's my absolute favorite!
The parents didn't really set their daughter up for success in a magical sense, which doesn't make sense considering the curse. But once they knew they had no other choice, their parents weren't secretive. They tell her.
It moves at a good pace, and I read it in two days. And I'm a super slow reader!
I just really love how it is written and how magic works in the story. Quite honestly, the best part is just how phenomenal the world-building is.
Definitely worth the read!
