My overall opinion: While I love the cover of this beautiful book, I found the story to be somewhat disappointing. A unique combination of Little Red Riding Hood and the Twelve Dancing Princesses, it didn’t live up to the standard set by the first two books in the series. I know the author can do better, as she has evidenced in the delightful Tuesdays at the Castle. Having said that, however, this was a tolerably good book. It just didn’t grab me as much as I’d hoped it would.

Wow. That is a nice cover. ;)

Why do you think the author would use some of a Twelve Dancing Princesses-ish plot when she has another book completely a spinoff of that? o.O
Aside from a gorgeous cover, this one sounds really interesting. Never read any of Jessica's novels. Yet. :)
Thanks, Charity.
Clare, isn't it? :)
Melody, have you read the series? If not...it's a bit complicated. Jessica does it very interestingly.
Rissi, JDG is a great author...but start with another book. She has better ones. :)
Well, I read Princess of the Midnight Ball recently. Is it a series?
(P.S. Didn't want to bother signing into my account... haha.)
Melody, yes, it's a series. Next is Princess of Glass, and then this one. I thought that PMB was best though. The books continue with those girls who you now know. And? I get the not signing into your account thing. Used to do that regularly. ;)
