The Castle Behind The Thorns

In my latest read “The Castle Behind Thorns” it starts off in the perspective of a young boy named Sand who lives in the times of kings and queens, he has awaken in the fireplace inside of a castle he once could only peer at from the outside. After a brutal attempt to escape he figures out that the thorns surrounding have been placed by some type of magic. Once he decides to take a creep into the crypt he realizes that everything in the castle has been broken apart from the spoons to the walls. When he sees what seems to be the princess of the castle, who died many years before his time, has fallen from her casket Sand very reluctantly places her body back in its rightful place.
A few days after Sand has attempted to escape the barrier, he finds new friendship in the only thing that seems to be alive in the castle which just so happens to be the dead princess he had seen days earlier. When Sand uses his blacksmithing skills to repair things for use, he sees how the thorns seem to lower and his relationship with the princess grows. Everything in the castle is seeming to come back to life with plants sprouting and food rotting; yet the thorns remain impenetrable.
Where I have concluded in this book, people have become aware of the people trapped in the castle and Princess Perrotte’s past catches up to her. Perrotte’s stepmother learns of her stepdaughters awakening and orders her to be killed once again but her army soon learns that the thorns will not move. Now the two teens face a decision which is to lower the thorns by mending things, and most likely be executed by her stepmother, or be caged forever.
I believe that Sand’s choices in the beginning of Perrotte’s awaken days altercated the amount of time they had to mend things. They spent the first two days arguing and awkwardly apologizing. Without the time needed to mend they have been discovered by the stepmother and the thorns are not close to being lowered. Such as page 127 “”How do you know?” The words
