The best word to describe this book is "charming." From start to finish it was charming and very reminiscent of a Jane Austen style of prose while still being an easy read for modern audiences. I love the fairy tale of the Twelve Dancing Princesses and this was a smart re-imagining of the story. Th...

***FINAL RATING: 2.55 STARS***CATCHALLWell, this was certainly an interesting book. I enjoyed it more than my rating probably implies. I actually really did like this book. It was definitely enjoyable and had a wide variety of very different characters. I love dance, and naturally stories about danc...

This is sweet retelling of the twelve dancing princesses. I liked how their names were ranged alphabetically. It dragged a bit at times and there was some overuse of the word pouf, but the danger and romance and dancing made up for it.

Entwined is a very cute story, and a great read for lovers of fairytale retellings.

It does however h...

I can only describe it like a dance. This is a wond...

I've heard good things about this book, and for good reason. It was more than just a fairytale of how a princess meets her prince. It has a bit of a dark twist to it that made the book almost impossible to set aside. I was really intrigued with the storyline and the characters and was glad I finally...

ORIGINALLY POSTED ON Debz BookshelfThis book was just so...lush. It was so soft and smooth and clear and just perfect! I love historical fantasy, when a completely fantastical adventure is placed in an actual time and place. This book takes place sometime in the Victorian Era, and captures that worl...

This is not a book for everyone. It is confusing, long and slow in places. Yet I loved it. I love fairy tales. I've loved them since my first retelling of Beauty by Robin McKinley. I loved them when reading Shannon Hale, Gail Carson Levine, and many others. Not all retellings are great, and so...
