When Sassymonkey says “you should reserve XXXX for TW” I usually do. I don’t always read these books but I often do. And I almost didn’t read While Beauty Slept because I don’t love Sleeping Beauty. It’s my least favorite fairy tale. But, TW said it was really good and I should read it.
So I did.
And she was right. And Millicent was hella creepy. Shudder. Excellent re-telling. I liked it. (I hope I don’t have nightmares.)
have you read Mercedes Lackey’s 500 Kingdom series? a totally different take on fairy tales that is very good. to be fair, I enjoy all of her books and series.
Sleeping Beauty was my favourite when I was a child. We had it on vinyl and I used to listen to it all the time. It had the best villain.
