Publisher's summary

They call her the Sleeping Princess, but Celeste is far from asleep...

Celeste has been cursed since her 16th birthday - just not in the way the rest of the kingdom thinks. All they see is her breath-taking beauty, marred by her foolishness. Only she knows that she retains her brilliant mind. And it's a secret she must keep at all costs.

Over the years she's grown accustomed to the necessary deception. After all, her life depends on it. And she's even found a way to protect her kingdom, working from the shadows. But now a dangerous new threat has emerged, one that Celeste can't defeat alone. She needs the help of a newly-arrived prince. One who's altogether too handsome and too charming. Somehow she needs to keep her secret, save her kingdom, and find a way to free herself from the curse. The last thing she has time to do is sleep.

In this reimagining of the classic fairy tale, Sleeping Beauty, it's only the princess' mind that is asleep. And sometimes appearances can be deceiving.

PRINCESS ASLEEP

THIS IS A RETELLING OF SLEEPING BEAUTY,
CELESTE IS SEEN AS A FOOLISH PRINCESS BUT, SHE IS STILL BRILLIANT THOUGH NO ONE SEES IT. A VERY DIFFERENT TALE OF SLEEPING BEAUTY, ESTHER WANE DELIVERED A WONDERFUL STORY WITH HER VOICE!

Best one yet

This is The Princess Game, book 4 of Melanie Cellier’s ‘The Four Kingdoms’ series. I have been reading them in order, mostly, and this reimaging of Sleeping Beauty is the best one so far.

My least favorite of all the books

I liked the take on sleeping beauty but the story itself was a little hard to follow.
