(I won’t expand on this for fear of ruining the story for you!)
There are elements of mystery in the story, with many questions to be answered, and, as truths are gradually unveiled – about Rose’s past, and about the mysterious robot-like creature that is pursuing her – we begin to discover some haunting things. It’s a beautiful, intriguing story, but with a slightly deeper, darker feel to it at times as well. Maybe it is loosely based on Sleeping Beauty, but only very loosely – A Long, Long Sleep is a whole different, brilliant story in its own right. However, that is what happened.Īt first glance, A Long, Long Sleep looks like just another fairytale retelling with a modern twist, but it’s so much more than that. When I first read the blurb of A Long, Long Sleep, I thought, ‘This looks good – I think I’ll like this.’ but I wouldn’t have predicted that I would turn out to LOVE the book. I was blown away by this book, I honestly was. This review was originally posted at The Book Parade
