Narration In Pursuance Of Books Briar Rose
A dark and sexy reimagining of the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale from the author of THE DEMON TRAPPERS.For Briar Rose, life is anything but a fairy tale. She's stuck in a small town in deepest Georgia with parents who won't let her out of their sight, a bunch of small-minded, gossiping neighbours and an evil ex who's spreading nasty rumours about what she may or may not have done in the back of his car. She's tired of it all, so when, on her sixteenth birthday, her parents tell her that she is cursed and will go to sleep for a hundred years when the clock strikes midnight, she's actually kind of glad to leave it all behind. She says her goodbyes, lies down, and closes her eyes . . . And then she wakes up. Cold, alone and in the middle of the darkest, most twisted fairy tale she could ever have dreamed of. Now Briar must fight her way out of the story that has been created for her, but she can't do it alone. She never believed in handsome princes, but now she's met one her only chance is to put her life in his hands, or there will be no happy ever after and no waking up.

Briar Rose is a fresh retelling of Sleeping Beauty with a few twists along the way. This is not your standard fairytale filled with cliché evil queens, a lovely kingdom waiting and a prince on his white horse coming to save the damsel in distress. It is imaginative, different and dark. There was also a steampunk edge to this novel that I wasnt expecting.On the night before her 16th birthday, Briar finds out that she is cursed, and that at midnight she will die. Believing she cannot fight theIt is a bad, bad thing when the best thing I can say about a book is that it started off feeling somewhat reminiscent of Beautiful Creatures. It's like licking a Tootsie Pop. It's not exactly good in the first place, but then you get to the center...thing, and instead of a crappy mockolate core, you get 31 fucking flavors of dumb.Time for a pop quiz! Don't worry, I'm a nice person. It'll be short.Your mom tells you you're going to die on your 16th birthday, without any proof whatsoever, you:a)
OMG! This book is a twisted version of sleeping beauty. I absolutely loved it. You think you know where the books going, then it twists and you would never expect it. Its a little boring in some parts but is totally worth reading. READ IT AND ENJOY IT!!!! :)
My review on Briar Rose is a little up and down because I didn't actually finish it. I got this book for Christmas and I just couldn't read past the halfway point. I think if you're not enjoying a book by this point you should move on...a bit like relationships in that manner (but that's a different matter!) but, I just couldn't form a connection to Briar at all! I don't want to sound mean but she is definitely too interested in boys and I feel a little sorry for Joshua, him I found more of a
There better be dragons in this book. Dragons.
Fans of the TV series Once Upon a Time are going to love Briar Rose. A deep, dark fractured fairytale reminiscent of the original Grimm tales. After the initial struggle with the third person narrative (we all know by now that I am a 1st person girl) I became hooked on the story. The characters are engaging, the focalization switching between the characters allowing insight into their actions as well a providing background detail to add clarity to the plot. While 3rd person narrative is
OMG finally done. I thought this book would never finished. I thought I would really like this book because fairy tales and princesses and princes and happy endings but nope. omg no. I actually didn't like Briar whatsoever. Like honestly, she thinks everything is about her, hates every single girl who looks at any guy she likes, was all like "ohh noes i'm gonna die?? okayyy let me get comfy in bed" da fuck woman? All her thoughts like magically came true and like seriously this book is mADE OF
