4.0

I really liked it! Halim & Toadling were very cute characters, and it was a really interesting take on Sleeping Beauty. 

Only thing stopping me from giving it a higher rating is the ending. I found it a bit abrupt, and honestly I think the book could’ve done with another 10-15 pages, just to make room for a bit more exploration of Faerie, or to spend just a little more time on the ending of chapter 8 (before the epilogue)
