Avery Elise asked Bethany Atazadeh:

What can we expect from the final book in The Stolen Kingdom series, The Enchanted Crown? Will we have any new characters? How closely does the plot follow the original Sleeping Beauty storyline? I'm so excited for it!!

Bethany Atazadeh That's a fantastic question! There are actually quite a few brand new characters (most of them minor, but some more major). One in particular, I think a lot of people will love-to-hate. There will also still be lots of Arie, Kadin, Rena, Bosh, Nesrin, Malakai, and of course, Gideon. And as far as the retelling portion, if you've read the original Sleeping Beauty story, then you'll understand when I say I'm not drawing as much inspiration from this one as from past retellings! (Because yikes, that original story is dark!) But there are a few hints at Sleeping Beauty planted throughout this story, for those who are looking. :)
