I kinda liked the story. First of: Really interestingly written. We see the past from Lillys view, but the present is mainly seen trough Tessas eye. The mystery is incredible, fore- and background at the same time and it is only in the last couple chapters that you start to understand what is really up. The writing style is beautiful and definitely worth reading the book for.

But then I didn't love the book 100 percent, because in the end, some of the characters fell a little flat.

A twisty teen murder story involving three sisters. I was a little let down when the mystery was revealed but it kept me intrigued enough to find out. There are some gorgeous poems peppered throughout that really gave heart to the character of Kit for me.

Well, this is certainly an original take on the Sleeping Beauty mythos -- one where the fairies tithe abilities away, so in exchange for beauty and gracefulness, Aurora loses her voice. In exchange for Aurora's life, her sister loses her sight.

The strengths -- a very excellent and engaging and capable blind main character, also a mute one. The wonderful bond between the sisters. The weaknesses -- another series, this one set up to mirror the larger dysfunctional family relationship that governs the bigger political picture. I'm just not that interested in watching the drama Isabella and Aurora's relationship will inevitably go through, and the pacing drags. The dreaming world is confusing, the waking one is full of beings being awful to each other just because they can.

It's a perfectly fine YA series, just not one I care to pick up again.

Kinda meh on this one. I like the ideas around the retelling but there are a lot of plot holes and the characters disabilities were not always handled that well logistically, which I found frustrating. I might check out the next one in the series if my library picks up the audiobook.
