I GIVE THIS BOOK:
MY THOUGHTS:
I've never read anything about the twelve dancing princesses and even though I have heard of them I didn't know much about them. Entwined was an okay story, maybe younger readers would enjoy it more than I did. I just felt that most of it was too ridiculous. How many toddlers and adolescents would willing subject themselves to dance when it caused them pain? I just couldn't see all twelve of them wanting to do it. Some, sure. All, no way!It also seemed really funny how under a year after she is born, the youngest sister was walking and talking - seemed like the author forgot how old she was.
Even without knowing the story I figured everything out well beforehand and so the story was just tedious to finish.
I wouldn't recommend this one, but if you still want to give it a try I would suggest borrowing first, if at all possible.
