Aurora has only known being an inconvenience her whole life, ignored by her parents and then a burden to her adopted aunt who saved the kingdom. Determined to be useful to Maleficent Aurora decides to totally focus on her studies, learn more about the inhabitants of the castle, and stop dreaming of a safe world outside the thorns that protect the castle. All that changes one day though when the Bard shows up with a glorious blue feather ranting about how outside is not dangerous. Suddenly curious Aurora begins to question her whole existence.
The story moved so slowly, I was bored throughout the majority of the book. Yet since I paid for a brand new book I was not about to not read it. It is an interesting idea that while Philip battled Maleficent in the real world Aurora battled her in the dream world but it was badly executed in a lot of ways. One good thing was each chapter had a title, I love it when stories have chapter titles and not just number. While the story was boring the writing was fine, it was smoothly done with a steady flow of slow moving story. If not for the fact I bought a box set with three books I would never try another of the twisted tales but I am too stubborn to not read a book I bought brand new.
This is an odd question when I unwrapped the plastic on the box set and took the book out the back cover was torn and the white pages on the edge were clearly dirty. I could not see this the way the box set was set up, has anyone else ever experienced this getting books at Barnes and Noble?
