This was another pleasant surprise! A solid 4 stars. But in the end, it did tie together, so this isn’t completely a negative! At times, like when I thought the inclusion of the creatures was random, it felt like the story meandered.Neriya, the prince: oh my goodness, he’s a sweetheart too! So brave and endearing.Political happenings that were realistic, not ideal, but still not dry at all.It felt like there was a whole world to explore. At first, they seemed random, but I should’ve known better–they all became important later on. All the cool creatures! They were what gave the story a mythical slant.Palli, the Sleeping Beauty character, was so sweet and altruistic.When her other small sisters wondered why Palli went so willingly to bed, Palli only blinked at them and said, “It is good practice.” But if all she had to was sleep–well, she could do that! She slept every night. Palli did not know how she could save anyone.
