![]() ![]() Craig’s take on the story felt a lot more insidious. ![]() I’ve even read one or two where the princesses are forced to dance against their will. A lot of the ones I’ve read stick to the “secret door in their room that leads to another place” outline. With that being said, I love a good retelling and I’ve actually read quite a few retellings of the 12 Dancing Princesses. I went into this book pretty blind–I didn’t realize at first that it was a retelling until they were buying their “fairy shoes”. Sometimes I request books on NetGalley and then when it’s finally time to read and review, I’ve forgotten what the book was supposed to be about. Part mystery and part fairytale retelling, it comes together better than expected even if a little confusing at times. TL DR – The story of the 12 Dancing Princesses darker than you’ve ever heard it. They think they might have found a way, but what will it cost them? Frustrated that all of the young men are too afraid of “the curse” to court them, the sisters realize they must try to find young men that have never heard of them or their dead sisters. ![]() As she struggles to mourn the latest death, Eulalie’s, Annaleigh must also find a way to comfort her younger sisters when the town starts theorizing about a family curse. There used to be twelve of them but now that Ava, Octavia, Elizabeth, and Eulalie are all dead, there are only eight of them left. ![]() Annaleigh just wants her sisters to stop dying. ![]()
