The Sleeper and the Spindle

I don't think that I'm sold on the art work (although the full page spread of the kiss is truly lovely – I think the skulls in other pages came off as cheesy to me, among other stylistic choices) and I craved more story. I was so looking forward to this, I wanted (and expected) more. It felt very cut, copy, and insert twist here. I liked the combination of Snow White and Sleeping Beauty, the 'twist' of the sleeper being the evil magic user , and the dwarves...but there was a luster that was usually there that was lacking this time. The whole thing just made me sigh, it was close, maybe?
