** spoiler alert ** 
 As I have said countless times, I love fairytale re-writes so a re-write of Sleeping Beauty written by the author who did Beastly was always going to be a win. I kinda loved this. I know, it's a fluff book and all that but I like fluff books sometimes. The princess, Talia starts off bratty and is kissed by Jack, who is a jerk to begin with and it basically goes from there as Talia has to deal with her father's pouting when he wakes up after 300 years asleep to find that his kingdom has no allies and the world is now completely different because it's been 300 years so she decides to run away with Jack, because she's convinced he's her true love. Jack, feeling some sort of pity and an urge to show his ex who cheated on him that he'd moved on agrees (after he's been flung in the dungeons of course.) 
 It's just a fun book, and I loved Talia - it was kinda fun to get alternating chapters between her and Jack and you get to see the progression in them both which is good. Sure, it doesn't have the same kinda dark edge that Beastly had but it's a nice way to kill a few hours and I think I needed the light stuff since I'm about to start a book which is probably going to take the extra time I've created the last few weeks to finish.
