This was a really wonderfil, and unusual, sleeping beauty re-telling.  It reads like those rambling story tellers who have to tell you about 10 other side stories before they get to the main story.  Which, was fascinating and fun, but could get a little difficult to stay focused.  So just prepare yourself for some flowery language and meandering storytelling.
