Wildwood Dancing by Juliet Marillier
5.0
I never understood how princesses in folktales fell in love with frogs. I always thought it was just a plot device used to demonstrate true love. After reading this book, NOW I understand.
I wouldn't consider this a romance book, as it keeps themes of romance light and (almost) nonexistent, but I might have developed a little crush on her charming frog best friend.
Wildwood Dancing is a combination of two European fairytales, The Frog Prince and The Twelve Dancing Princesses, but Marillier makes it entirely her own. It focuses on family, the consequences of making deals with magical beings you don't fully understand, and sibling rivalry. Overall, this makes it on my list of favorite books of all time.
You've got siblings discovering portals to enchanted realms in their bedroom, fantasy forests and Transylvanian castles, and childhood nostalgia -- yeah, this book is just my cup of tea. Juliet Marillier never disappoints. Highly recommend this!
