Rating: 6.5/10
Favorite Character: Annaleigh
This thrilling retelling of the Twelve Dancing Princesses is captivating and haunting. This story leaves one constantly wondering what is real, and what is a hallucination of the main character and narrator, Annaleigh. This book takes what, to be frank, is a fairly creepy fairytale, and escalates the stakes, turning it into a murder mystery. As Annaleigh’s sisters die, and rumors of a curse on her family abound, Annaleigh attempts to uncover the mysteries surrounding her home, Highmoor, to which she must add the mysterious door which her sisters go through to dance all night. Craig creates a rich world with a complex mythology, converting this story into a tale of ambition and family. Despite the difficulty in following the plot, which can be a little confusing at times, partially thanks to the tenuous grip on reality of the narrator, this book is one I would recommend reading.
