I love fairytales… I seriously can’t get enough of them. So I will always read any retelling I find. This was a very new approach to the Twelve Dancing Princesses. For these girls dancing every night is not a curse, being forbidden to dance is.

This retelling wasn’t amazing I never really connected with the characters but it was new and interesting and I did enjoy it.
