A nice
take on the Sleeping Beauty tale blending modern times with a medieval
French kingdom. This included many elements from the original story and
even wove in an affair between one aunt and Charles Perrault. The
added elements enhanced the motivations of the evil fairy giving the
reader a solid reason for her hatred of Rose. This would be a good way
to explore multi-dimensions of characters and address behavior that is
not fully explained in the fairy tales.
I wasn't sure what to expect since a co-publisher was MTV. I did have an occasional curse word, but nothing too serious. There were some steamy scenes, but no sex. It engaged in a frank discussion about the two main characters wanting to have sex. The only problem was they had only known each other for a week, and there was really no truly responsible talk. There is a disturbing scene at the end when one of the characters is thrown through a window with crows stuffed in their mouth.
