They're ment to be taken with humor and have you think like a curios detective: "What if facts of a good story were different"?

I love this series and I love that these books are stand alone. Stand alone means you don't have to read them in order of how they were written. You get to pick and choose which one you want to read first. These books are perfect for any Disney fan. I love books that capture your attention from beginning to end.

This was one of my favorite twisted tales. I loved the whole dream concept and how people started to disappear when they started to act strange. I thought the ending was beautiful as well. Loved the love and the fact that she questioned her sanity.

overall really fleshes out a princess that hardly has any screen time in her own movie in a way that makes sense and is relevant to the basic framework we have about her character.Main character Aurora Rose, deals with depression.The journey is her growing as a person by facing her most significant flaws. The lessons & realizations are meaningful but the final showdown falls flat after all her growth. The romance itself is lackluster and honestly doesn’t need to be there.People in other reviews complain about how long author describes something but after being lied to and dealing with depression it makes sense how new everything feels to her and why this writing style was necessary.I would have preferred aurora rose & philip build a more solid foundation of friendship. I did appreciate that she wasn’t immediately in love with him after coming to her senses in the dreamworld and how they didn’t get married right away in the ending.

What an interesting take on the tale of sleeping beauty. Manipulating dreams and challenging our power over dreams is such an interesting concept that the author builds on in each chapter. The focus on deep relationships is amazing and interwoven so well into the story. You even question what she may feel throughout the adventure. A great read for a modern spin on this tale.

One of book of an 18 count series. Granddaughter enjoys books by this author.

Amazing story! So unique and well-written! Liz Braswell takes the brainless, simpering Disney Princesses whose goal in life is to be saved by a man, and transforms then into fierce, strong, brave, and intelligent souls. THESE are the fairy tales little girls should grow up on! Well Done, Liz!

It’s a great book but was delivered with a lot of damage.
