Lastly, even though I feel like I get Aurora, I had a hard time understanding what exactly her end goal was which made it hard for me to care all the way about the plot of the story. In this case, we’re just as uncertain as she is who to trust. This was hard for me at times because I typically like to feel like I know more than the protagonist does. It’s almost like we’re all still playing catch-up with her from when she was asleep. It seems like everyone is really secretive and nobody is telling Aurora the whole story. Outside of Aurora though, I have a hard time figuring out some of the other characters and why they’re doing what they’re doing (i.e. Sometimes it can get tiresome with all of the, “Should I kiss Finnegan? But no, I shouldn’t. At the same time, I feel like we as readers really get to know Aurora well and understand her feelings and motivations.
Now, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but Aurora is in her head a lot so it sometimes keeps the story and the plot from advancing as quickly as it could (so just be ready for that). That being said, the pace of this book is slow.
There isn’t a lot of resolution in each book, but I think the overall series will be able to accomplish that. REVIEW: Let me start off by saying that this series is a commitment.
However, Finnegan’s kingdom has perils of its own, and any help he gives Aurora will come at a price.Īs Aurora and Finnegan work together to harness her power-something so fiery and dangerous that is as likely to destroy those close to Aurora as it is to save them-she begins to unravel the mysteries surrounding the curse that was placed on her over a century before…and uncover the truth about the destiny she was always meant to fulfill.īrimming with captivating fantasy and life-threatening danger, the sequel to A Wicked Thing takes Sleeping Beauty on an adventure unlike any she’s ever had before. Once the enchanted princess, savior of her people, she is now branded a traitor.Īurora is determined to free her home from the king’s tyrannical rule, even if it means traveling across the sea to the kingdom of the handsome and devious Prince Finnegan-someone who seems to know far more about her magic than he should. But since discovering that loyalty to the crown and loyalty to her country are two very different things, Aurora knows she can only dream of happily ever after. SYNOPSIS: Asleep for a hundred years, awoken by a kiss, Aurora’s life was supposed to be a fairytale.
