Something really neat and unique about this book is that it is a sleeping beauty retelling, so you know the major plot points. BUT even though you know what's coming, you don't really know the magnitude of what's coming. That's good writing.
Think Disney meets Game of Thrones. You get dragons, you get magic and witches, you get court politics, you get unseelie creatures, you get the sleeping beauty curse, you get a love story.
Honestly, it felt like a really good mashup of everything, and I wanted to keep reading more every time I picked it up.
I love love LOVED that the FMC was very strong and independent. We need more of that in our lives.
I really enjoyed that there was some dabbles of spice. It wasn't the plot, but it was tastefully sprinkled in and written in a way that didn't make me roll my eyes, lol.
Some of the tropes:
Enemies to lovers
Fake engagement
One room/one bed
