In a new take on Disney's Sleeping Beauty, Prince Phillip cuts down the dragon Maleficent to rescue slumbering princess Aurora Rose only the dragon isn't dead, and Maleficent has transferred her essence into Aurora's dreams. If she can control the princess until one minute past her sixteenth birthday, Maleficent can kill the girl and live on in her body. But what if Aurora realizes it's a dream and awakens? This entry in the Twisted Tale series quickly diverts from the original tale, shifting the premise so that while outwardly the castle slumbers, fighting rages inside Aurora's dreams as Maleficent spills blood to maintain a magical hold on life. Braswell presents a compelling and imaginative alternative story with references to the movie threaded throughout and action sequences that demand attention. For edgier retellings, send readers to Marissa Meyer, Gail Carson Levine, and Emma Donoghue. Despite a rather weak feminist flavor, this version is a cut above the norm.--Welch, Cindy Copyright 2016 Booklist |
