What happens between Sleeping Beauty waking up and finding her happily ever after? Rhiannon Thomas tells that story.
Aurora wakes up to find an 18yr old boy standing above her, having just kissed her. She discovers she's been sleeping for 102 years. Everyone she's every known is long dead. Her kingdom is full of political intrigue and she has questions that no one is answering. What is a princess to do?
Getting to the end of this book I realized that it is NOT a standalone novel. BUT it was a very intriguing read nonetheless. I really enjoyed how Rhiannon Thomas wrote this "after" fairytale. She really captured how it would feel to wake up after 100+ years and not know what's going on. Politics were definitely in play here. It felt VERY Game of Thrones-ish but without multiple chapters on different characters.
I would totally recommend.
