Pirouette by Kenley Davidson

5.0

I've been a huge fan of this whole series. I like that each book branches out further into the storyworld, with a mix of both familiar and new characters. The relationships between characters always draw me in. One of my favorite things about the series is that these aren't strict retellings of the stories. Pirouette bears some similar elements to The Twelve Dancing Princesses, but it has a lot of additional political intrigue and some romance as well. I think this author really has a gift for retelling a familiar story in a new way and crafting interesting worlds and characters I immediately care about. I definitely recommend this series to readers who like fairytale retellings. They remind me a little bit of the stories by Robin McKinley.
