Crown of Slumber: A Sleeping Beauty Retelling (Crowns of the Fae #1)
R.L. Perez
Two feuding kingdoms. One unbreakable sleeping curse. Princess Aurelia would rather spend her time with her dragons than her court. But when a deadly sleeping curse befalls her family, her only hope lies in the hands of the wicked Prince Fenn. His kingdom maintains the only known supply of stardust, a rare substance that is the key to breaking the spell. But Fenn’s aid comes with a price: Aurelia must pose as his betrothed to secure an alliance that will protect his court. As they embark on their journey, weaving a web of deception, Aurelia begins to see through his charming facade. Beneath his flippant persona lies a depth she never expected—a prince she could grow to care for. Perhaps even love. But as genuine feelings blossom between them, Aurelia stumbles upon a sinister secret within Fenn's court—a secret that threatens not only her dragons and her kingdom, but the very essence of her soul. Can she trust Fenn to save her family, or will his hidden darkness be their undoing? Crown of Slumber is a Sleeping Beauty retelling with a twist, full of dark fae magic, deadly court schemes, and steamy romance. The Crowns of the Fae books can be read in any order as stand-alone novels.

It is hands down one of the best, if not the best ARC I've read.
I'm absolutely speechless.
The writing was just impeccable. The main characters were multi-layered, deep, and strong. There was so much more to them than what you see.
The world building was done so well that it played out so vividly in my head. The plot was rich and so full of twists and turns that it had me on the edge of the seat. I didn't want to put the book down because I was so enthralled by everything that was happening.
I honestly didn't want the book to end, I just wanted more. I'm still not ready to part with the characters and the story.
It was such a beautiful retelling of Sleep Beauty. I highly recommend this book!
0I loved this book! It was such an interesting, fast paced and enjoyable book and it was EXACTLY what I needed to pull me out of my reading slump! I had such a fun time reading this and got through it all in one day.
I really loved the 2 main characters but, Mal wad my favourite by a mile. I have a soft spot for animal side characters! The story was really fun but did keep me guessing with a lot of twists and turns. I've never read a Sleeping Beauty retelling but I really liked how it kept elements of that in but wasn't an exact copy of the original story.
Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for something fun, quick and easy to read!
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC.
