Debut Author Challenge #8



As some of you might have noticed from my September listens list, I've been busy finishing up my twelve debut author books, but not so busy blogging about them.


 
 



So, here's number eight:



ENTWINED, by Heather Dixon is a charming, romantic retelling of Twelve Dancing Princesses.

After the death of their mom, a mysterious man called The Keeper gives twelve sisters a chance to do what they love but aren't supposed to do in mourning...dance.


Heather Dixon does a wonderful job developing so many characters, and (best of all) there are three different love stories entwined in this magical novel...the kind of historical-style romances I love with suitors and misunderstandings and secret trists.

A novel well worth reading or listening to.

  3. I have this on my e-reader and need to read it. The Twelve Dancing Princesses was one of two of my favourite fairy tales as a child (and still is). The other was The Wild Swans. I love a good fairy tale or classic retold :)

  5. Developing a dozen characters must've been challenging--I'm intrigued!
