Negative Positive
Title: A truly enjoyable read
Review: Definitely not your everyday retelling of Sleeping Beauty. Our heroine (perhaps I should say 'heroines') is not quite what one would expect.Rosie (the princess) is not particularly 'beautiful' as she grows up a plain village maiden who prefers being a 'horse leech' and hanging around the smithy to doing fine needlepoint and other 'girlie' things. Her best friend, Peony, *is* beautiful (and sweet and noble and all the things a princess *should* be).Absolutely loved the ending (which I will not spoil by giving it away except to say all's well that ends well and I couldn't be happier for the entire wonderful cast of characters).
