Beauty's Curse: A Historical Fantasy Fairy Tale Retelling of Sleeping Beauty

I had high hopes for this series of books but I've been bitterly disappointed. I honestly don't know quite what's wrong. It's almost as if English is a second language. The grammatical errors come thick & fast, almost on every page. Syntax & sentence structure is torturous. It's impossible for me to enjoy a book when I find myself wincing constantly at yet another error or poorly written passage. I'm really sorry to leave a review like this; I've never done so before but I feel so strongly about it. I actually bought several books by the same author given that the synopses were so enticing. I will now be removing them all from my library.

interesting and creative retelling of the intro to sleeping beauty. would probably would enjoy the rest of the story but I detest cliffhangers so much I never reward them by buying the following books. Actually I likely would have been willing to indulge had this NOT been advertised as a retelling of beauty. Had it only said it was a prologue I might have opted in. But in my mind, I was cheated of the story I was led to expect so I'm not happy. The writing is above average, the characters appealing and novel, and the secondary characters fully realized. What I'm really curious about is whether the suitor or the friend gets her in the end. I'm hoping for the friend. But I'll never know; I'm only curious anyway.

I could only read 3 pages of this. The grammar and word choice were horrible and made it simply unreadable. This person needs a good editor.
