    Not what I expected
  

*by N***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2023*

I tried to like this story because I love Disney’s Sleeping Beauty and the original fairytale but in the end I just had to get rid of the book. The story started out fine but it went downhill later. I’m used to Sleeping Beauty being very feminine character so the idea of a tomboyish Sleeping Beauty doesn’t seem to fit into the story. While I did like how Aurore cared about her people I thought in some parts of the story she seemed kinda of obnoxious towards Ironheart like I don’t need your help and her narration of some parts of the story was too laid back. And the fact that she ended up with her own cousin was gross.

    Fresh take on an overdone fairy tale~
  

*by P***7 on Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2009*

So you know the basic idea:  Princess Aurore had a christening party which was interrupted by a slighted uninvited guest who casts a curse over the poor child.  When she turns 16 she will prick her finger and one drop of blood will fall and Aurore will die.  Another guest (not fairies in this version at least)utters a counterspell.  Aurore will not die, she will fall into a deep, deep sleep that will last 100 years until she is awakened by the kiss of a prince. This was similar enough to the original tale, that I felt comfortable sinking into "Beauty Sleep"... but it was the differences that kept me intrigued.  In this version, Aurore's older cousin Oswald lives in the palace and expects to be the heir to the kingdom, (mostly due to the dire predictions made about Aurore's life expectancy).  The first part of the book was very good. It detailed Aurore's life in the palace, and how Oswald gained her parent's permission to allow Aurore to roam the palace gardens.  Aurore gained plenty of freedoms after that and her parents became more relaxed in their protectiveness of her.  In the second part of the book Aurore runs away from the palace and meets her destiny.  I don't want to give any of the secrets away so I won't detail this very much except to say that I mostly guessed the twist, which was a little disappointed.  My other complaint is that the author really spent a good portion of pages saying nothing at all.  There was a lot of rambling and while some passages gave good insights into the characters and the ideas of magic and love, quite a bit was pointless.  These pages caused my mind to wander and distracted from the otherwise beautiful story. "Beauty Sleep" was still very enjoyable and I look forward to other books in this series.

    A Princess in Pants
  

*by O***E on Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2008*

Mmm... I DID think this story was mediocre, which makes me wonder about the series.  I think it is fine for young girls under 15.  But knowing the Princess is 16 is enough to make me want more from the storytelling, which didn't happen.  I feel you get what you pay for here.  The author is a good writer, and got the book off to a tremendous start with her explanations of what magic is.  Unfortunately, it goes downhill from there.  You don't get your 12 fairies here, or even three fairies, or for that matter - ANY fairies!  In my mind, that is unacceptable.  You don't get a princess who grows up in the woods, you get a princess in pants! The cover-art is deceptive and the book is nothing like the painting you see there.  So this didn't keep me.  Part of her life was to spend time with the peasants, which lasted about two paragraphs.  Aurore does connect with one major character, but seemed to have a bigger personality than what was developed.  Although I finished the book, it was a strain to stay with it and see how the story would play out.  For me, the romance and the mystery and magic were nil.  I also did not care for some of the underwordly descriptions of supernatural occurrences (which were more off-putting than interesting).  Being a student of the supernatural, I was not feeling it in this writing.  (I got a sense that the company didn't pay the author adequately to write something memorable.)  Again, OK for anyone under 15, who might be inspired later to write something better themselves!
