Once Upon a Dream-A Twisted Tale - by Liz Braswell (Paperback)

A Sisters review. For parents looking for a good book for their kids, this is not it. Maybe it’s due to being in the medical field and seeing this stuff, that it bothered me, nonetheless, kids shouldn’t read this stuff. Do what you want with this information, but figured parents should have a good heads up on what their child is going to read. Bought this for my 16 yr old sister, not something you’d expect to read in a Disney book. Here’s two parts from the book, within 20 pages of each other. (Excuse the lack of punctuation, I was attempting to just type it out without having to really read it again). This should not be in a book for kids. This is word for word from the book, again sorry about the punctuation. As she rounded the corner she saw one of makeficents servants nosing around the corner. Off duty? Did they ever go off duty? It was on its knees and hands snuffling in the midden like an animal. Aurora turned her head when it found a length of entrails and worried it out of a pile and stretched it until the tube of flesh snapped. Page 78 The Queen reached deep into her cloaks. she pulled out a strange ripple-bladed black stone dagger that looked sharp and awkward. before aurora could guess what it was for, maleficent was linger it deep into the Astrids chest. the moment seemed unending; the queen had to juggle it back and forth to get all of its sinuous bends into the woman’s flesh. Astrid screamed, or, tried to, the muffled cries surrounding wet and useless behind her gag. The guards holding her whistled and hooted with glee. With determined set of her jaw, maleficent wrenched the dagger out. A fountain of blood streamed from the poor woman’s chest— too purely, too neatly to seem possible considering the jagged imprecision of the wound. Pages 95-96
