It would be the end of her life, she decided, if life was a time of choices. In a week from now, she would have no choices.
In this short book, Neil Gaiman combines the tales of Sleeping Beauty and Snow White. Snow White is about to marry her Prince when three of the dwarves come to her castle and tell her of a curse in the kingdom beyond the mountains; everyone there is falling asleep. In order to keep the curse from reaching her kingdom, Snow White sets out together with the dwarves to break the curse – by waking the sleeping princess.
The base of this story is interesting and Neil Gaiman’s writing is, as always, a delight. However, the story could have been a lot more captivating if it had been longer. As it is now, it lacks in the character and world development – and even though the ending is a twist and a half, it could have been more.
All in all, an average book.
I read this book for the BookTubeAThon 2017 (Challenge #7: Read seven books)
