I checked it out from my local library. Thornwood is an innovative retelling of Sleeping Beauty from the perspective of the famed princess's bratty little sister. The basic set-up remains the same: a fairy curse on the princess, the spindle, the awakening with a kiss from a prince, the fortress of thorns around the castle where everyone has slumbered. From there, though, everything is topsy-turvy. The residents of the castle wake up--but the curse isn't gone. The thorny vines are not only still outside, but trying to invade the castle. The prince may not be a prince. The fairy mischief may go far beyond a curse on one teenage girl. And it's up for one intrepid little sister to figure out how very wrong everything is and make it right again. This is a cute, fast read. I would have unabashedly adored the book as a kid. I really like how consideration is--finally--given to the other people in the castle who are collateral damage to the curse. The ending strained my belief a bit, but my child-self wouldn't have been as critical. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Also, the creepiest thing EVER is that the male knight in shining armor who "falls in love" with sleeping beauty and her with him: who kisses and all that is actually maleficent! At the end in the middle of kissing sleeping beauty maleficent turns back into her self and the girls realize it was all a trick. So it was like almost pedo (not sure how old sleeping beauty is suppose to be in the book) and lesbian.
