While the first half of the book was slow for me, I flew through the last 100 pages of this book. Felt a little like I was in a fever dream. I loved the 12 dancing princesses retelling part, and the twist was really good. I wish we got a bit more of the romance too.

5.0

This is a Dark retelling and you should check TW/CW info
This book genuinely surprised me. I thought ‘its a YA fairytale retelling I know how this goes. Theres the gorgeous mysterious dark haired love interest who’s gonna turn out to be the twist villain.’ I dont think its a spoiler to say i was Wrong in assuming the twist, because I genuinely didn’t know who the villain was until the protagonist did.

4.0

It’s a solid horror retelling of The Twelve Dancing Princesses. There was a lot going on, and a lot to keep track of, but it did its job well enough. It really picked up around the halfway point with

the death of Edgar.

That was exactly what I needed to get me hooked back into the plot, and from that point forward, it was really well paced. 

I was able to guess a couple of the twists as information was revealed (though I never got anything exactly correct), and the romance seemed unnecessary, but overall a fun time.
