A review by oddio
The Isle of the Lost by Robert Venditti, Melissa de la Cruz
2.0
Maleficent cursed Sleeping Beauty to die, not fall asleep for 100 years. The only reason Aurora fell asleep and could be awakened by a kiss was because one of the good fairies used her blessing to alter the curse.
I'm pointing this out because the entire book revolves around the fact that Maleficient used the Dragon's Eye to make Aurora fall asleep. In the actual Disney film, she did not. Yet, the book still treats Maleficient as if she was the most evil villain ever for cursing a girl to sleep. No. Actually, what she did was even more evil.
Plus, Aurora was 16 when she fell asleep, not 18,
That awkward moment when Disney couldn't even write their own fanfiction properly. Melissa de la Cruz even claims in her author bio that Sleeping Beauty is her favorite Disney film, so I'm wondering if Disney is actually censoring themselves...wait, what, why? A lot of people have watched Sleeping Beauty as young children. They can handle the word "die". Hell, Melissa de la Cruz even throws a couple "hells" into her writing here. Children can handle your own animated films, Disney. As a longtime Disney fan, I was used to the murder and teenage marriage in my favorite films by the time I was 4.
