I’ve had this book on my TBR for so long and I’m so happy I finally read it! It’s probably one of the most atmospheric books I’ve ever read. I felt completely swept up in this eerie world of salt, sea and glittering dresses. I thought it was a pretty excellent take on the Twelve Dancing Princesses story with plenty of twists and turns I didn’t see coming. I really enjoyed all the characters, especially Annaleigh and Verity. I did have a little bit of a hard time keeping track of the sisters, but that’s was definitely a me problem. It did move a bit slower at times, but I still found myself intrigued and interested in where the story was headed. I happened to read this during a very rainy week which really enhanced my experience with this book so I recommend that for extra atmosphere. I very much enjoyed this story and I’m excited to read the next book!
