Tia Nevitt makes an amazing retelling of the famous story of Sleeping Beauty from the perspective of one of the common people in the kingdom–a spinster who owns the spinning wheel.
The very reason why I picked this book up, and the thing that I enjoyed most, was the whole idea behind the book, about what happens to the ordinary girls in the kingdom when someone sets a curse on the princess. A novel perspective if there ever was one, I think.
What I liked best about this book was that Talia was no woe is me type of heroine. She was strong, tough and independent. Others might have tried to put her down, but she would not have it. She knew that she worth something, and wouldn’t let anyone tell her otherwise.

Even though Nevitt focuses in on Talia’s story, she doesn’t ignore Princess Aurora or the prince who’s destined to marry her. They both play key roles, and I’m sure their inclusion will thrill fans of the original fairy tale. I thought Nevitt did a lovely job of showing how Talia’s story is intimately connected with theirs, without letting it overpower the tale she wanted to tell.

Purity and perfection are for princesses, pragmatism and persistence are traits that serve peasants well. This is a fun novella with some unexpected depth. Definitely worth the money and further proof that Carina Press was a great idea.

Many readers will love that the focus falls on a heroine who isn’t perfection itself & that doesn’t decide to sit & pine away for one person. Talia’s actions aren’t always the best but she doesn’t sit & mope or wait for someone to sweep her off her feet. Nevitt also tackles the story with a sense of humor that many (myself included) will appreciate & find themselves laughin
