Genre: Fantasy

Summary: Talia never asked for any of this.

When a magic-filled night flips her world around, all she wanted to do was to go home. Not find out that fairy tales are real or that she was the only one who could save their realm. A realm which she thought she knew, but ends up being completely twisted.

Now the only way for her to return home is to save a world of fantasy full of strangers. Doing so can awaken the person she's always meant to be, but when her enemy is the strongest fairy, her strongest self may not be enough.

+ Cover

Not bad at all. I like the font and the way the names are written. But I have a feeling like the picture could be a lot better. Maybe you can try requesting for covers and see if you can do better than this? Just a suggestion.

Rating: 7/10

+ Title

It won't attract the readers. It isn't a lousy title but just a bit unoriginal. It would be a lot better if you could manage to change it into something eye-catching.

Rating: 6/10

+ Summary

This is perfectly fine. It doesn't give a big insight into the story but lets the readers know what exactly to expect. That all is done by one simple sentence in the end (Unusual re-telling of Sleeping Beauty). To be honest, it is the unusual part tat caught my eye.

Rating: 8/10

+Plot

Fantasy is one genre which will never run out of original plots. And as someone who is undoubtedly found of fairy tales, especially the Grimm Brothers version, this book was of great interest to me.

Not to mention the twist you gave it.

Rating: 9.5/10

+Characters

Talia: I like her. She isn't like weak willed but neither is she unrealistically strong. She keeps herself through sheer will power though she still feels scared of what was happening around her. That to me, is a very realistic reaction. You may tell yourself not to be scared but there is nearly no one who isn't scared of the unknown. Some just hide it better than the others. And you haven't given her a face so are we supposed to use of imagination? But I am curious to know who do you have in mind?

Seth: I like Seth. Not because he is a prince but because he isn't a stereotypical prince. Unfortunately in most of the common fairy tales, the prince is more useless than the princess. So yes, it does seem nice to see a different side of it. Not to mention his background. That is more of an interest to me. But you didn't give a face to him either I noticed.

Elliot: The picture you used to describe Elliot is, as far as I know, an anime boy (more specifically Lelouch of Code Geass) So if you need more such pictures, just type in the name and you can get it. His personality seems to be dark but then you never know. With the twists you are throwing, it is hard to know what to expect.

Rating: 8.5/10

+ Chapters

Length: Not a fan. A bit too long unfortunately. prefer fantasy stories to be a bit shorter since it gives the reader more chance to soak in the information. Especially in a place like Wattpad where readers read on-the-go and shorter chapters are always appreciated.

Grammar, punctuation, sentence structure: Nothing amiss here so good job!

General:

It was't until Chapter 4 that I became really interested in reading what was about to happen. That was the chapter that piqued my curiosity to tell the truth.

Talia's reactions were really very nice. The other mysterious factor is her grandmother. What was she hiding? What did she now? I don't think you mentioned Talia's age. Does that have any significance?

I am glad that while she went along with what Seth said for the time being, she wasn't so trusting. He was just lesser of the two evils. That shows that even though she is scared she also had her presence of mind. And common sense. Maybe she is still hoping or thinking that she is asleep.

I like her reaction to the jumping through the realms. It s realistic since if you aren't prepared for the sensation there is no doubt that your dinner/lunch would be ready t resurface. Not to mention the fact that when it hit her she was no longer in her world, she felt shocked. She isn't scared but just bewildered by what was happening to her.

It took me a minute to remember the name Rose Briar (and to be honest, that was half the reason this review was late) before realizing that the answer lay forward if I just read. Believe me, I was not surprised to learn who Briar Rose was but I was surprised at the ending of Chapter 4.

And damn! That was where the chapter ended. To be truthful, I considered reading only until there but after reading the last sentence I just had to read forward; only to find out that you hadn't updated yet.

Way to leave your readers hanging. Great job.

With all the versions of fairy tale I have read, I think the Grimm version of Sleeping Beauty is about the King raped her? I am not quite sure since it's all so jumbled in my head but then I was wondering what version does Talia knows about.

There aren't many things wrong with it except for the length. The story is still in it's early stages so I can't say much but I am really looking forward to it.

+ Conclusion

Anyone who loves fairy tales should read this story. It has a very good twist in Chapter 4; something I honestly didn't see coming. Now I have a whole slew of questions in my head and I have to wait for her to update to have them answered. If they will be answered so early that is.
