I loved this sampler. I love the world building and the protagonist. Everything I've read by Bayron has been incredible and have pre-ordered the book to carry on the story.

I recieved a sample of the first three chapters of this book. As it was not the whole book I will not be posting a review to my goodreads/social media's as I feel it wouldn't be fair to give a rating over a sample.

I did enjoy the start of this book. I could easily picture the characters and scenes in my mind and it felt magical. I want to learn more about Eve and her world and am intrigued by the Huntress! The Knight sounds like he could be character we are supposed to hate but might just end up loving?! It did make me want to pick up a copy of the book when it is released.

I love this reimagining of Snow White and the story pulled me in from the very beginning, I have once again requested a sampler by mistake and was shocked when it ended abruptly! i can't wait to see how the story continues when I get my copy!

I vow never to request samplers again, because it just makes me impatient to read the full thing! Was really enjoying this…then it stopped. Frustrating (but it does its job).

This sample was amazing and has me more excited and hyped to receive my preorder copy!!!! Kalynn Bayron is and has continued to be one of my favourite authors, and this sample has me confident that I will already love and devour the whole book..

I always have high expectations for any Kalynn Bayron book and I am so excited for this one having read the sampler. The premise is really intriguing - we are introduced to a world like and yet unlike slpeeing beauty - with a bold, courageous and impulsive protagonist and a set up for revenge against a mysterious and dangerous adversary. This author writes such brilliantly complex characters and I can't wait to see how the story unfolds.

Great retelling. Fun vibes and really easy to read.
the writing style and narrative voice is welcoming and the story moves at a great pace.
Recommend for if you are in a slump and need something to pull you out of it

Very good sampler. I am very excited to read the full novel. Just waiting for my fairyloot edition to arrive :)

I didn't realise this was just a sampler and I don't like reading little bits of story and then having to wait to read the rest so I am going to wait and buy the full book. Still highly anticipating it.

Since this was only the first few chapters I don't have much to say! it was immediately enthralling and fast paced, and I can see that it set up for a good story. I will definitely consider reading the whole book in the future!

A retelling of Snow White, instead of the Wicked Queen we have the Knight. The Knight is an ancient monster who has the power to grant wishes, although these wishes are usually turned into curses. Born with the ability to communicate with animals, and conjure weapons from nature Eve has been training her whole life to defeat this monster.
As more of the locals try and make deals with the Knight, and are harmed in the process Eve believes that she is ready to face him, but when her mother, Queen Regina starts behaving oddly - talking to no-one, lashing out at the slightest thing, Eve starts questioning whether her powers and her control of them will be enough to save her family and the kingdom.

The five chapters that were in the sampler were well done, and I was just getting into the story when it ended, I must now wait patiently for the whole book to be available.

Sleep Like Death hooked me from the beginning, introducing the main character Eve and the world around her. I have added this to my list to get once it's released so I csn see how it developed further.

What a fantastic opening to a book! I love the world building and hints at different fairytales.

I am already hooked and invested in these characters. I need the rest of this book now!! Definitely heading off to preorder it straight away!

Thank you for the opportunity to experience the first three chapters of this book.

I am hooked. I will be preordering this book immediately. It’s been ages since I was that immersed in a story, particularly in the first few chapters.

This will be a best seller for sure.

I need the rest of this yesterday!! Why is it still a over a month away until publication?!

I love Kalynn Bayron and I love fairytale retellings. I will be getting this on publication day (somehow - it will be tricky since it's on my birthday)

As a fan of Kalynn Bayron I was delighted to be offered the opportunity to read the first three chapters of her upcoming book through NetGalley. Sleep Like Death hooks you from the beginning, introducing you to Eve, the magic wielding protagonist, and the fantastical world in which she lives. I can’t wait to finish reading this book when it comes out!

This is the first time I've read anything by Kalynn Bayron. After reading the samples I am very intruiged and cannot wait to meet the knight! I will be devouring this upon release!

This sampler was amazing! I can't wait for the rest of the book! I know that I will be devouring it!

Thankyou to NetGalley for this sampler. Looking forward to follow Eve in her pursuit of the knight. Her connection with the natural world and magical abilities seem to suggest her journey will be eventful to say the least. A book I will be adding to my collection when it is released.

Thank you for gifting me this sampler.

I’m really enjoying this story so far, after reading 3 of Kalynn Bayron’s books, I know I really enjoy her fast paced writing! She is one of favourite author of queer characters and I thoroughly enjoy everything she writes.
I wish this sampler was the whole book! If I’d have realised, I would’ve left it later to start reading it because how am I supposed to wait for this to come out.
