While free of grammatical errors, this alternate version of Sleeping Beauty was told rather than shown. Very little sensory description was given and not much character development to make the reader experience the characters' feelings. The biggest drawback, however, I found to be the naive and unrealistic characteristic of the main male protagonist. Based on the numbers presented, he should have been twenty years-old for most of the story, but spoke and acted as a child. He's even referred to as a "young boy" at one point. With deeper character development (and an age shift that prevents a twenty year-old from falling in love with a sixteen year-old), and descriptions that show rather than tell, the story had the bones to be quite good. It just didn't quite get there
