Briar Rose by Jane Yolen
2.0
I actually didn't finish this. I started it thinking it was middle grade, but when I was introduced to the adult sisters' bickering I was like, "Hmm, this would be ridiculously boring for that age bracket," and I looked at the book more closely. It's young adult, and it didn't feel like good young adult.
Then when I got to the first introduction of the romantic figure I was like, "Nah. No thank you." It didn't help that I flipped back later in the book and came to another clichéd, sappy line. It might have been great, but I don't have a lot of patience for books that turn me off in this way.
