I love the premise of the story. A different take on sleeping beauty with Celtic mythology and a matrixesque feel to it. Unfortunately, it didn't work for me. I understood the confusion at first, as Aroreh lived in a "dream" state. But as the story went on, the confusion stayed. I didn't get to know Aroreh as much as I would have liked. Her character felt and stayed disjointed. There was too much going on, and nothing fit. It was more of a bunch of different genres meshed together in a story that didn't work. I love the nod to the original stories and the Celtic mythology and culture. But that's about it. I may try her other books in this series because they are longer, but this one was disappointing. Absolutely adore the cover and the synopsis. The kickstarter book is just so stinking pretty.
