Very well told story. I love a good fantasy that involves multiple worlds or time-periods that suddenly clash together. This book was a page turner and, in my opinion, worthy of anyone's time.
If you read the synopsis, it is a different take on the story of sleeping beauty. But even if you are familiar with sleeping beauty and don't care to read another fairytale remixed, this book is still for you.

My favorite standalone story by OSC. Takes the timeless tale of Sleeping Beauty and combines it with time travel postmodern and feminist takes on Jewish philosophy, and an interesting pantheon where the strength of gods depends on their number of followers.
Be patient, for some, it can take awhile to get into it (75 pages) but the pay off is well worth it. OSC knows human behavior so well. He knows a lot well, and you can see it in his writing, but he is not flaunting it, just sharing it.
