THIS REVIW CONTAINS SPOILERS EVERY WERE
I was so glad, that I finally finished this book. It was so difficult to end this book and it almost put me in to a reading slump, because it was so boring. And in general this book did not provoke any kind of positiv emotion. Mostly this book gave me the ick. 
What I think is very important to mention is that I really want to like the twisted tales books and there are some that I really enjoy. Like for example the snow withe and the frozen one. 
But let's start with my main critic point the "What if...." prompt is wrong! The prompt that is written on the cover of the book is: "What if the Sleeping Beauty never woke up?"

But she wakes up! Sure the main part of the Story happens in a Dreamworld of Aurora and apparently in the world a long time passes. But stilly she woke up. And if you look at the time in the world were Aurora is sleeping she wakes up after one day! Thats not never wakes up! The correct prompt would have bin: " What if the princes kiss didn't break the curse?" What is so difficult about using the correct prompt.

Liz Braswell is also not a very good author. She very often utilizes telling the audience whats happening, instead oft "Showing". What makes the book not very fun to read. She often utilizes a story telling style that feels like list making. 
I also hated how Aurora was presented, because it always gave the vibe of "dumb blonde" even thou in her signature "telling" writing style she made clear that the opposite thing was the goal. Because oft sentences like "But I'm not just a dumb princess" (loosely quoted). But she never was able to see throu any evil plot or trap maleficent had in store for her. She always needed someone to help her. 

In this book where so many very very pointless death. For maleficent to keep control over Auroras dream she needs to kill people in the dream and when they are killed in the dream they also die in real life. But the death are so meh it didn't make me feel any emotions not even when the king and queen were killed by her.

But there was one fun easter egg in the book from the movie. It was the drunk minstrel who was in the movie in the scene were two kings dring wine together. 
But still most of the text felt like gab fillers and like you could take it or leave it. And if you would have cut them all maybe it would have bin a passable read. But it also would be not even a half as long book. 

Because I enjoyed that book so little I hat a very difficult  reading it and I think with out the Storygraph streak feature I would have started a serious reading slump with this book just like last year with the Drath Plagueis book.
