Not as good as I was hoping

After reading As Old As Time, I was expecting this one to be just as good, if not better than it. Aurora is one of my favorite Disney characters and this book didn't do her justice, she was boring, even Maleficent; another favorite of mine, was dull. For me nothing really grabbed me, which is what I look for in a book, something to grab my attention and make it hard to put the book down. This one, unfortunately, didn't do that; the only reason I finished it is one: because I hate to leave things unfinished and two: because I wanted to see how it ended, which was very disappointing

Seriously, don't waste your time.

Aurora was probably the most frustrating character I've read in a while. Even Maleficent was bored with the story and it was her dream world. I quit reading halfway through because I just couldn't deal anymore. U drug on forever and went absolutely no where. I'm really disappointed with this book. I was really looking forward to it and was horribly upset by how poorly it played out.
