Rosette Thornbriar by Rachel Roden
I'm participating in the Three Sleeping Beauties Blog Tour. Apparently, I start out all of my blog tour posts with that sentence. Oh, well, can't break the tradition now. I was given the chance to review this lovely book, and I present that review to you now.
Once upon a time, way
out west...
Back when they were young'uns, Fleur Guardstone proposed to
Rosette Thornbriar with a cigar band ring. However, not long after, she
disappeared back into the forest and hadn't been heard from since. However,
when Fleur hears reports of smoke coming from that woods, he's determined to
find out if it is, indeed, his dear Rosette. If he can get past all of the
briars.
This was a very cute little book. It is surprisingly short, and only took me a couple minutes to read. Sleeping Beauty has never been my favorite fairy tale, but I was able to enjoy this retelling very much. There is something about this author's writing style, something I can't put my finger on, that is very charming. Whatever it was, I liked it a lot. This author shows a lot of promise.
My review, like the book itself, is very short. Nevertheless, it is not too short to urge you to check out this book and the other two wonderful ones in this blog tour, and read them as soon as humanly possible.

Great review! I'm hoping to pick up Rosette Thornbriar soon! Not too soon, though- I'm waiting until the giveaway has run its course so I don't risk ending up with two copies.
