Long & Short Reviews
When you think of Sleeping Beauty, you don’t usually think of space travel, civil wars, scavengers, and pirates, now do you? Well, that’s what you get with this version. Ronan and Noah have the perfect twosome, but what happens when a third (and a woman, at that!) comes into play? I loved this space age twist on the classic fairytale, and I also loved our main characters. They are real, they have pasts, they hurt, and they love. Alivia is an innocent, in more ways than the obvious, but she doesn’t remain that way for long. Ronan and Noah balance each other out perfectly, and they have a very honest relationship, which is always a good thing. The pacing was smooth, with no plot holes that I fell through. There is a great range of characters that I would love to know more about – all apart from poor Pops! Full of intrigue, betrayal, decisions, and responsibilities, this was a brilliant book that I thoroughly enjoyed. Highly recommended.
