A gorgeously atmospheric Gothic fantasy that had me hooked from the first page to the last! I loved all the characters and the way their stories came together. Georgia Taylor creates a great sense of magic and mystery in her writing, as well as female characters who don’t rely on the normal saviours - or literary tropes - to make their way to the sensational end of the story. An author to watch.

This is a re-telling of sleeping beauty that changes quite a lot from the story we all know and love.

Although loads changed and we are following more than one character, I wasn't completely hooked throughout and I think the finale was a bit lacklustre.

It is a good debut book that's a quick read.

Thank you to Netgalley, the author and publisher for an eARC copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

A beautiful and atmospheric fairytale rendering. Loved the characters and nuances of the story as well as the style of writing which made the read even better for this fall season.
