Once Upon a Dream by Liz Braswell Summary
What if the sleeping beauty never woke up?
It should be simple—a dragon defeated, a slumbering maiden, a prince poised to wake her. But when said prince falls asleep as soon as his lips meet the princess’, it is clear that this fairy tale is far from over.
With a desperate fairy’s last curse infiltrating her mind, Princess Aurora will have to navigate a dangerous and magical landscape deep in the depths of her dreams. Soon she stumbles upon Phillip, a charming prince eager to join her quest. But with Maleficent’s agents following her every move, Aurora struggles to discover who her true allies are, and moreover, who she truly is. Time is running out. Will the sleeping beauty be able to wake herself up?

More About Liz Braswell
After the sort of introverted childhood you would expect from a writer, Liz earned a degree in Egyptology at Brown University and then promptly spent the next ten years producing video games. Finally she caved into fate and wrote Snow and Rx under the name Tracy Lynn, followed by The Nine Lives of Chloe King series under her real name, because by then the assassins hunting her were all dead. She also has short stories in Geektastic and Who Done It and a new series of reimagined fairy tales coming out, starting with A Whole New World—a retelling of Aladdin.
She lives in Brooklyn with a husband, two children, a cat, a part-time dog, three fish and five coffee trees she insists will start producing beans any day.
What Do Readers Say About Once Upon a Dream?
“If you’re a fan of Disney movies or fairy tale retellings, I’d pick this book up. Even if, like me, you weren’t a huge fan of the first book, I’d give this one a try. Braswell had me seeing Sleeping Beauty in a whole new light!” -Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
“Let me say that Once Upon a Dream was actually a lot darker than I thought it would be. I thought it was going to be pretty light hearted, but it wasn’t. It got deep. It got dark. Sometimes it got a little ugly. I am not disappointed in this at all…I thought the premise of the over all story line was actually pretty clever and I really enjoyed this spin on the original story.” -Stephanie @ Reading is Better With Cupcakes
