Told from an interesting perspective - a woman who spent many years in service in a castle and knows the truth behind the sleeping beauty story and is ready to share the truth. Elise loses her entire family and returns to her mother's home town and previous place in the castle. She quickly rises to a great position within the castle and has quite some interesting experiences while trying to mix and mingle amongst the elite.

First, I loved how the story was presented - as a story told from a great grandmother to her great granddaughter I loved it. It allowed for Elise to just tell the story from beginning to end and to give her story purpose and reason. I also loved the amount of time that her story spanned and although it is set up that she definitely ends up with a family, it doesn't ruin who the family is started with. Although it didn't end up being quite the Sleeping Beauty fairytale, I loved it just the same.
