THIS is the "Sleeping Beauty" retelling I've been looking for! After being disappointed by a few other iterations of my favorite fairy tale, this one really hits the mark. I just started reading T. Kingfisher's work this year, and every one I pick up is better than the last. Which means this is my favorite one so far. My only complaint is I wanted MORE. Novellas are a tidy length, and I'm glad she had the opportunity to get this book published as a standalone, but gah, I could've spend a lot more time in this world!
