Come and mend your broken hearts here. In this retelling of the classic tale The Twelve Dancing Princesses, the eldest princess must fight to save her family--and her heart--from an ancient dark magic... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I have long loved this fairy tale, and dreamed of writing a version myself. I haven't managed that yet, but this one is so wonderfully good. I fell head over heals in love with it! All the dancing descriptions are marvelous, the pieces of the story fit together so well, and I was thoroughly enthralled. What a wonderful book! I couldn't put it down.
I did find a few details a little distracting--there were so few references to newborn care for the youngest that I kept wondering if this author was just glossing over that detail or has little experience with newborns. And the next child just learning to talk at 2? That seems a little late. But I so could relate to the character of the 4yo because I know someone just like her!
And, of course, it's so hard for a reader to keep 12 characters straight! But this author did a masterful job trying and I mostly kept up. The alphabetical detail helped brilliantly.
Entwined is such a good book!

Something about this book is crisp and fresh. It is the perfect book to snuggle up on a snow day with hot chocolate and read from start to finish. It is well paced book that is both suspenseful as well as heartwarming. Your pain is matched with the characters. It is a brilliant spin on a classic fairytale.
