![]() The story-line was, in theory, a compelling one but I found the pacing too slow for me to care overly much. Whilst there was nothing inherently wrong with it, it just didn't fill me with any feelings. ![]() This had such an intriguing premise and had such potential to be a completely bad-ass book. I was immediately more invested in this, than the first book, from the very first line of, "A dragon was dead." The prologue set the story up nicely but I did not, however, appreciate all of the character traits and found the main character, Aurora, to be a little vapid, shallow, and ungrateful, which had me struggling to empathise with her plight. Or, if she does, it probably won't be true love's kiss to awaken her. Once Upon a Dream is the tale of a Sleeping Beauty who might never wake up. ![]() This is the second instalment in a series of Disney-inspired retellings by Liz Braswell. ![]()

This repetition slows things down somewhat and it’s not until the final sections that things really pick up pace.
