I enjoyed this story. It is well formatted for kindle and is free of copy-editing problems common in self-published works. The writing style flows easily ninety-five percent of the time with only a few clumsy sentences. When the point of view changes, so does the voice of the characters, a skill most authors need to improve on including myself. The story is free of unnecessary back story dumps and stays in scene throughout the piece never falling into chunks of boring telling.The description I found on amazon says exactly what this story is about, a terrible tale of what happens when parents become too protective to the point of cruelty. The story will leave you hurting for the young couple it involves. My only beef was at the end I wanted to know more, which is a good thing. What happens to this poor cursed couple.I definitely recommend this story which follows the formula of a true fairy tale before Disney got a hold of them. You'll enjoy this modern version of sleeping beauty.
