Entwined
By Heather Dixon
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
"If your sisters come to your wedding,my lady,it will only be to murder me."
"Well at least they will be there."
Entwined is the remake of The Twelve Dancing Princesses with some....twists!!!
The eleven princesses are in mourning.After giving birth to the twelfth princess,Lily,their mother has died.The princesses are wretched...In a time that nothing matters but to protect each other,they discover a secret magic passage that leads to a world of beauty.But this beauty comes with a price...
Before reading this book,I thought that I would love Entwined but as it turns out I didn't really enjoy it.Although the cover is beyond amazing,the characters are very boring.I didn't feel the instant connection I usually feel when reading similar books.I'll just say that this book wasn't for me.
Nevertheless,I read a few reviews and many people actually liked it.I can't say that I recommend this book but not everyone has the same taste...So feel free to read it.
Blurb:
Azalea and her younger sisters dance in the mysterious silver forest every night, escaping from the sadness of the palace and their father’s grief. What they don’t understand—although as time passes they begin to get an inkling of the danger they are in—is that the mysterious and dashing Keeper is tightening his snare with deadly purpose. Luckily, Azalea is brave and steadfast. Luckily, a handsome young army captain also has his eye on Azalea. . . . Lush, romantic, and compelling, this debut novel by Heather Dixon will thrill fans of Shannon Hale, Robin McKinley, and Edith Pattou.
