This is not
just a retelling about Aurora, but also about another girl, never been told.
About her sister Isabelle. These two sisters are very different, but grew up
together in the castle. And while Malfleur is getting stronger, the kingdoms
are divided. And the girls get separated.
This story
is different from what I expected, I thought it would be more excitement. But
although I was disappointed, it did read like a fairytale. It had a slow pace and
that suit the story, the story about Sleeping Beauty. Because the writing wasn’t
that fast paced I took my time reading, I even went three days without reading
because I didn’t was drawn to it that much. I wish the story would have
contained more excitement, more mystery and maybe folklore? I love Folklore and
especially in fairytale books!
This is definitely
a fairytale retelling that reads like a real fairytale, like Hunted by Meagon
Spooner. Next year Hillyer will bring out another book “Winter Glass” I think
that this will be a companion story, like with The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa
Meyer. Both bookcovers of Spindle Fire and Winter Glass are very pretty!
