2.5 stars, bordering on 3, so here we go.I think the author did a good job with this retelling, making it more itneresting to me than the actual, original fairy tale (well, the one I remember, at least). More details and explanations were given, making the overall story deeper.On the other hand, the...

OVERALL IMPRESSION: This was a cute story. I have seen in other reviews that it is based on a fairy tale called "Twelve Dancing Princesses" but I have never read or even heard of it before so I cannot compare this story to that. The story was a little slow for my tastes, but towards the end it did p...

I have always been a big fan of fairy tales and re-telling's of fairy tales. Entwined definitely delivered for me. In fact, I think I love this re-telling better than the original fairy tale! You really get attached to all the sister's with their different personalities and personal quirks. The stor...

This was a bit of light, fluffy fun. I enjoyed, even though it didn't leave me feeling like I had just read an amazing novel. It had some scenes that made me snicker and some that made me do the cry face/snuffle without actually bringing me to tears. It was okay.
