Commentary As Books The Wide-Awake Princess (Wide-Awake Princess #1)
In this new stand-alone fairy tale, Princess Annie is the younger sister to Gwen, the princess destined to be Sleeping Beauty. When Gwennie pricks her finger and the whole castle falls asleep, only Annie is awake, and only Annie-blessed (or cursed?) with being impervious to magic-can venture out beyond the rose-covered hedge for help. She must find Gwen's true love to kiss her awake.But who is her true love? The irritating Digby? The happy-go-lucky Prince Andreas, who is holding a contest to find his bride? The conniving Clarence, whose sinister motives couldn't possibly spell true love? Joined by one of her father's guards, Liam, who happened to be out of the castle when the sleeping spell struck, Annie travels through a fairy tale land populated with characters both familiar and new as she tries to fix her sister and her family . . . and perhaps even find a true love of her own.

I just can't get enough of these adorable fairy tales I've been reading lately. They make for the perfect break from this serious, exam-infused environment I'm passing through.I've always been a fan of fairy-tales so when I saw this book, I knew that I had to read it. I wasn't certain what to expect. After all, you often can't tell what direction a fairytale book will take. Some are filled with such dark plot lines with witches and goblins and heroine's that are corrupt and not worth rooting for. Then on the other hand, sometimes you get such romantically centered ones that make you sick or ones that are just plain childish in nature and writing structure that you
This is basically a retelling of Sleeping Beauty but this Sleeping Beauty is a spoiled brat. She gets what she wants when she wants it. Her younger sister is the exact opposite. She cares for people and thinks of others before herself. So when her older sister is under a sleeping curse, the little sister goes on a quest to help. It's fantastic so far and I love the writing style because it fits the time period for the book. It could almost smell the mildew and the bread in the story. The

I enjoyed this book immensely. :) I'm no stranger to fairytale retellings. I've read tons of them. All of them are magical in my eyes. I love all of them! What makes this one special is that it the heroine herself isn't magical. I just love the author for making one not-so-special girl save the day! This book makes delves kind of deeper into many of our well-known fairytales. Then it makes light of it by using its princes. ;) I love how each prince has their very distinct character. I even admit
This is sort of an alternate-world fairy tale--it's a Sleeping Beauty retelling with the caveat that the sleeping princess has a magically immune little sister. Being that it's a fairy tale motif that mixes in a bunch of other fairy tales, I guess I shouldn't be annoyed that it's very questy and has one-dimensional characters, but it did bother me that the premise of the story was so heavily inundated with "it happened this way, because . . . it has to happen this way." I didn't like that the
I absoutley adore this book.
Oh gosh, a wonderful retelling of the old classical tales of Sleeping Beauty.And refreshing indeed. Because the heroine of this book is not Princess Gwennie, the 'Sleeping Beauty' herself, but her younger sister, Princess Annie, who is not endowed by the magic, but cannot be touch by any good or evil magic.In the kingdom where everything is magical, Annie seems to be just a plain character. So, when somebody cast a spell and everyone in the castle just fall asleep, Annie is wide awake! Thus, the
