I had trouble getting into this story. Once our protagonist meets Primrose, the story took off. I especially loved Zellandine and the other Sleeping Beauties. I really don’t like Zinnia, though. And that makes it hard to really love the story. She’s so caustic and has the attitude of a young teen rather than a 21 year old young woman.
Moderate: Terminal illness
