The Magic Mercedes Lackey The A Tale of the Five Hundred Kingdoms series continues with a gripping new adventure…
Heavy is the head – and eyelids – of the crowned princess….
In Rosamund’s realm, happiness revolves around a few simple beliefs. For each princess there is a prince. The king has ultimate power. Stepmothers should never be trusted. And bad things come to those who break Tradition….
But when Rosa is pursued by a murderous hunter and then captured by the dwarves, her faith goes up in smoke. Determined to escape and save her kingdom from the impending invasion, she agrees to become the subject of one of her stepmother’s risky spells – thus falling into a deep, deep slumber.
When awakened by an emotional stranger, Rosa must choose between Tradition and her future between a series of qualified princes and a handsome, blond outsider. And learn the difference between being a princess and ruling as a Queen.
It begins by taking a classic fairy tale situation (The widowed king is about to become the target of the Evil Stepmother) and turning it upside down. It then performs the same sublimation routine with Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and the Ring of the Nibelungs.
Great! Great story and characters. This book is very funny and their adventures are really good. Love godmother Lily and Janson. It’s great that Siggy is the best for Rosemunde. Love the book.
Sleeping Beauty is purely entertaining, from start to finish. It has enough adventure, magic, heroes and heroines, wicked villains, and humor to satisfy any fan of good fantasy stories!
