Sleeping Beauty

Retellings often walk a fine line between honoring the original and adding fresh twists. I'm curious about what influenced these creative choices.

The story had such a whimsical vibe, but I was wondering if others thought the romance was more subtle than in traditional versions.

It gave the story a unique flavor, blending fairy tale magic with a specific historical backdrop. I'm curious whether the author envisioned this from the start or developed it during writing.
