Once Upon A Dream by Liz Braswell sounds really interesting. I am always up for a good retelling! I started the first book in this series and I wasn’t enamoured by it. Sleeping Beauty is one of my favourite Disney stories, so I am going into this one with an open mind. I will be sharing the first line of the book.
Title: Once Upon a DreamAuthor: Liz Braswell
Publisher: Disney-Hyperion
Publication Date: April 5, 2016
What if the sleeping beauty never woke up? Once Upon a Dreammarks the second book in a new YA line that reimagines classic Disney stories in surprising new ways.
It should be simple—a dragon defeated, a slumbering maiden, a prince poised to wake her. But when said prince falls asleep as soon as his lips meet the princess', it is clear that this fairy tale is far from over.
With a desperate fairy's last curse infiltrating her mind, Princess Aurora will have to navigate a dangerous and magical landscape deep in the depths of her dreams. Soon she stumbles upon Phillip, a charming prince eager to join her quest. But with Maleficent's agents following her every move, Aurora struggles to discover who her true allies are, and moreover, who she truly is. Time is running out. Will the sleeping beauty be able to wake herself up?
Book Quotes: Once Upon a Dream, Liz Braswell
“A dragon was dead. A giant black and purple fire-breathing dragon from the very pits of hell itself was dead somewhere outside the castle.”
Sounds really good and I love retellings, so I’ll definitely have to check this out!
Thanks for sharing, here’s my TT 🙂
I don’t read a lot of retellings but this sounds interesting. And the cover art is wonderful:)
My Teaser Tuesday
The cover on this one is so stunning. I love it too!
I read a fair number of retellings and will have to add this one to my list. My YA teaser this week is from The Girl in the Tower by Lisa Schroeder. Happy reading!
I have this ARC and I am looking forward to reading it. Love the teaser!
I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it!
I love retellings sooo much. Can’t wait to see your review as it sounds like an interesting take on it.
Great Teaser! This book sounds very interesting!
Retellings aren’t really my thing, but if you’re a fan of them, this does look intriguing. Hope you enjoy this more than the first book.
I guess a retelling has to be pretty outstanding to capture my attention. We will see if this one is! <3
I didn’t hear the best things about the first one in the series, but I would be willing to give this one a try. I mean, the covers are just so so pretty!
The first book was so disappointing. Usually I wouldn’t give an author a second chance, but this story is one of my favourites. We shall see soon enough!
This book sounds awesome! I need to read the first book!
I adore retellings!!! Especially when the story’s been turned upside down and the damsel-in-distress starts kicking butt.
I love the cover! Even without the review, I would like to read the book. Now, since I love dragons, it’s a must read. Thanks 🙂
