Publisher's Summary
What if the sleeping beauty never woke up? Once Upon a Dream marks the second book in a new YA line that reimagines classic Disney stories in surprising new ways.
It should be simple - a dragon defeated, a slumbering princess in a castle, a prince poised to wake her. But when the prince falls asleep as his lips touch the fair maiden's, it is clear that this fairy tale is far from over.
With a desperate fairy's last curse controlling her mind, Princess Aurora must escape from a different castle of thorns and navigate a dangerously magical landscape - created from her very own dreams. Aurora isn't alone - a charming prince is eager to join her quest, and old friends offer their help. But as Maleficent's agents follow her every move, Aurora struggles to discover who her true allies are, and moreover, who she truly is. Time is running out. Will the sleeping beauty be able to wake herself up?

Once Upon a Dream The Twisted Tales Series, Book 2
This is the second installment in a series of Disney-inspired retellings by Liz Braswell. Once Upon a Dream is the tale of a Sleeping Beauty who might never wake up. Or, if she does, it probably won't be true love's kiss to awaken her.
This was slow and frustrating and for most of the book, the plot was uneventful but I convinced myself to wait a bit, so I could see if things got interesting when rose and Phillip met. No Luck getting to involved in the story. I’m not really sure I cared for the portrayal of Aurora until the final pages when she seemed to come into her own. Philip was, at times, humorous and he definitely can slay dragons, but he lacked that larger-than-life feel that a fairytale prince should have. Philip would make an excellent boy-next-door, though.
The story-line was, in theory, a compelling one but I found the pacing too slow for me to care overly much.I heard that the third book is way better and a favorite for a lot of people. So in other words, I can't wait to dive into it.
