This was an interesting retelling of Sleeping Beauty mixed with Snow White. Snow White is a Queen who learns about a sleeping curse quickly spreading from another kingdom just before her wedding. She sets out with some old friends to investigate and discovers something even more unexpected.
I would be interested in seeing how this story would play out if it was longer. In the end, both Snow and Aurora set out on new paths that seem rather intriguing. I listened to the audiobook and really enjoyed the atmospheric storytelling and full cast.
I also wonder if this is connected to Snow, Glass, Apples in any way, or if they are meant to be separate retellings of Snow White.
