Rose's life is perfect. Ideal boyfriend, unimaginable wealth, and an existence anyone would kill for. But nothing is ever as it seems. Plagued by memories of a horrific nightmare she had while in a coma, Rose is starting to doubt her own reality. She can't shake images of monstrous dragons, of glass-like Nodes who control society in the name of protection, of children who are sent away and never seen again - and of Jake, her best friend, and her true love. In this twisted retelling of the classic Sleeping Beauty fairy tale, Rose will learn just what a nightmare life can be. If you LOVE Neil Gaiman, Ursula Le Guin, Ray Bradbury, and Stephenie Meyer, you’ll love diving into the dark, romantic, twisted world of Sleeping BEAUTi.

5.0 out of 5 stars Captured my attention immediately!

It was a great mixture of fantasy and sci-fiction, which are my favorite genres mixed. It keeps you wanting to read it until the end, but it also makes you want more. I guess good short stories will do that. I still wonder what was real and what wasn't, but that is left for the reader's imagination.

It was a good story, but it was very short. I wanted more. It feels like it isn't finished, like it stopped part way through.

This was my first reading of a twisted fairy tale, and I am impressed by such a clever, chilling re-tell of Sleeping Beauty. The author gives us a very creative concept, well-written and no holds barred.

This was a fun quick read that starts you off in the modern world, then get whisked into fantasy, then into sci fi. Very cool concept. Ending left me searching doe a sequel but the. Found out there was none. Only 43 pages long. I get a sense of accomplishment from finishing books, so these small ones are nice for me to keep me going. Also a good in between read. Was pleasantly surprised at this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars This has to be one of my favorite fairy tale twists.

This has to be one of my favorite fairy tale twists. If you love sci/fi as much as I do, this is one you don’t want to miss. Should humans ever trust an AI? Grab yours today and become enchanted!

The only world Rose knew before her fifteenth birthday, was her school. The walls, the great Efficiency, and the Mother Nodes kept them all safe. Because outside the wall is where the dragons lived. Dragons that liked nothing more than human fodder.

Children were invisible to the dragons before fifteen. But when they turned fifteen, they must move from the school to Efficiency’s great city, Zion, where she would continue to keep them safe.

Rose’s best friend and secret love, Jake, turns fifteen a month before her. Their love was secret because love was forbidden. But the two knew how they felt and planned a life together, even if that meant they had to brave the dragon’s and run away from all they knew!

Will love prevail? Or is their destiny to send their lives forever separated in Efficiency’s city? This is one twist you won’t see coming!

The storyline starts off great but just when you've gotten the hang of the plot it ends. Far too short to be called a book and with no sort of ending it can't be called a short story either. This got 2 stars only because the premise was a good one. Other then that, it was mearly a tease of a book beginning. That said, it was a waste of time because it simply was not enough of a book to engage me to the point of spending money on sequels.

SLEEPING BEAUTI by D.B. Green and A.K. Stein is a mix of science fiction, fantasy and horror, and more plausible than the backstory of the Matrix movies.

The coma is an excellent touch. I can't comment any further without risking spoilers, but the description doesn't do SLEEPING BEAUTI justice. I wouldn't call this a retelling at all. Green and Stein have created a very frightening dystopian future.

I recommend this short story to all readers.

4.0 out of 5 stars A twist in the tale that's actually twisted
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 17, 2019
Verified Purchase
That was one of the oddest, creepiest sci-fi fairy tale retelling I've ever come across, and I mean that in a good way. It takes the Sleeping Beauty theme loosely and weaves it in with young adult dystopia with chilling effect.

A couple of things could have been clearer and more fleshed out, but it's only a short story hence the limited details and I really liked the open ended twist. It makes you look back and question everything that happened.

The concept of this book was brilliant. A great twist to the original Sleeping Beauty story. I was disappointed with the ending as I wanted to find out what had happened and do think this short story could have been made into a larger book.
