It took me a while to get back to continuing this series after enjoying book 1. I am so thrilled to see how the challenge continues for Rose to break the curse. What a surprise the adventurous group faces when they get shipwicked on an island. Then what she discoveres about obtaining the dragon’s blood. If you like fantasy, you have to read this series.

CJ continues her wonderful Sleeping Beauty Saga with the second in the Once Upon A Princess series, the Quest! Of course, every good fairy tale has to have a quest and this one for both our hero and haroin is magnificent, with more magic, jousting Knights, feisty Princesses and even a Dragon
A soulful novel,loosely based on the fairy tale “SLEEPING BEAUTY” breaks the traditional story and shines a light inward on it’s main characters,their actions and the reader should you be fortunate enough to get a copy! Author JOHNSON is relentless in delivering entertainment one great story at a time…This is a good read!
This is book 2 of Once Upon a Princess series. I loved this book. The story is very well written and very well developed characters. I thought this was a great retelling of Sleeping Beauty. I would recommend reading.

I really enjoyed Beauty’s Quest! You definitely get to know Rose better (which is always awesome because I love her character even if at times I want to slap her up the head sometimes) as well as the beloved characters from book one. I was glad to learn more about Phillip too because I won’t deny that was very suspicious about his character. I felt my fears have been misplaced in this novella. 😉
One of my favorite parts by far was the scenes with the dragon!!! I won’t go into details, but those scenes were so different than what I expected (and I ate it up like candy if I might add). Hurrah to the author for changing up the typical!
There were many great nuggets of truth as well as an epic new adventure that I didn’t expect. It was fun, but also thought-provoking at times. I was especially happy with that almost ending conversation, even though it very unfortunately gets interrupted.
Very much looking forward to book three and definitely would recommend this series to fairytale readers because this isn’t your average retelling.
