This was another great read from T. Kingfisher. I love her writing so much. Her imagery is so detailed and she can set up a world so quickly and simple that she makes it seem easy even though it's anything but.
This little novella is a retelling of sleeping beauty but

in this case, the girl who is sleeping should not be woken up at any cost because of how dangerous she is to everyone.

It was a great way to turn the story on its head. I really enjoyed the contrast between Toadling and the sleeping princess's characters. They were very much opposites, one who would do anything to keep other people from harm and the other who enjoyed causing it.
Finally, at the end, I really enjoyed watching Toadling make a choice for herself. Once the princess was gone she was finally free to do whatever she wished and I liked seeing her make that decision of where to go and what she really wanted to do after she had been told to do things her whole life. It was nice to see that little bit of growth in her character.
I will say that I think this is one of Kingfisher's weaker stories, but I did enjoy it a lot overall.
