LoveReading Says

Sleeping Beauty, but not as you know it, in fact you could possibly read this imaginative story without fully realising the link. Once known, aspects from the original twist into being while other well-known moments remain buried in the fairytale of old. Dark magic crashes down on a baby and her mother, who will do all in her power to protect her child. Author Georgia Leighton has given voice to the strength and fortitude of women when under siege. Seventeen years and five very different women follow a difficult path. In this story love is lost, lives divide, life is fought for. Magic doesn’t rule this book, it exists, but the majority of time lies hidden or existing in a far off place. The pace is gentle as it travels across the years towards the final battle and it can take a while to settle into and understand the specific moments in time. The sense of place allows understanding of this land to grow. The castle as it stands almost abandoned, takes on a character all of its own. I love the compassion that exists here, the showing and sharing of true love and power and there is a confidence in allowing this story to meander, to dwell in the quiet places. Spellbound retells the story of Sleeping Beauty in its own very individual and thoughtful way.
