A reimagining of the classic Sleeping Beauty story told from the perspective of her little sister, Briony. All her life Briony has been stuck being in her sister’s shadow. When the curse finally happens and when everyone is awoken again, things are not as they seem. The “prince” is not a prince and has many secrets, the curse is still happening and trapping everyone inside the castle, and fairies are at war with one another. This was an interesting take on the original story but I found that I really disliked the characters and I just wanted the book to end. By the end, everything wraps up fine. This is a book in a series of retellings.
