Publisher's Summary
Mercedes Lackey magical A Tale of the Five Hundred Kingdoms series continues with a captivating new adventure…
Heavy is the head - and the eyelids - of the princess who wears the crown....
In Rosamund's realm, happiness hinges on a few simple beliefs. For every princess there's a prince. The King has ultimate power. Stepmothers should never be trusted. And bad things come to those who break with Tradition....
But when Rosa is pursued by a murderous huntsman and then captured by dwarves, her beliefs go up in smoke. Determined to escape and save her kingdom from imminent invasion, she agrees to become the subject of one of her stepmother's risky incantations - thus falling into a deep, deep sleep.
When awakened by a touchy-feely stranger, Rosa must choose between Tradition and her future between a host of eligible princes and a handsome, fair-haired outsider. And learn the difference between being a princess and ruling as a Queen.

Great story but only ok peformance
There were only two major issues that I had with the reading and close to none with the story itself. the two issues with the reading was that I found that one person voicing all the characters with very little difference in tone and intonation was rather off putting especially for the male characters. The other issue was the ignoring of the tone in which to speak in regardless of whether the character was written to be speaking quietly, shrieking, caroling, wispering, or raising their voice in iritation as written in the book, it was all said in the same tone of voice. Apart from these two things it was well read, but because of these things a great deal of inpact in some of the important scenes were lost and was quite jarring.
