Princess of the Silver Woods by Jessica Day George REVIEW

 



The Princesses of Westfalin Trilogy: Book Three
Summary:

Princess Petunia has been kidnapped! Except . . . it was really more like an accident. Oliver, the leader of a band of thieves known as the Wolves of Westfalian Woods, didn't mean to do it. And now he must make things right. He will confess to the king and deliver the princess to the grand duchess's estate.
But Petunia's safety is far from secured. As children, she and her eleven sisters had been cursed to dance endlessly at the midnight ball of the fearsome King Under Stone. Troubling dreams of the ball are once again haunting Petunia, and she can't be sure they are mere nightmares. When she and her sisters fall into a carefully laid trap, who but a handsome woodsman can save the day?

What I Liked:

This was an interesting story.

What I Didn't Like:

It swore a couple times. It was also kind of boring . . .

My Rating: 3 stars

The Princesses of Westfalin Trilogy: Book Two
Summary:

Having once been cursed to dance every night with her sisters, Princess Poppy has vowed never again to put on a pair of dancing slippers. Which is why she's reluctant to participate in the royal exchange program that her father and some of their neighboring kings have cooked up.
Life in far-off Breton isn't so bad, not when there's money to be won playing cards and a handsome prince promising friendship . . . and maybe something more. But when a hapless servant named Eleanora enters the picture and sets her sights on the prince, too, which girl will win his heart? And who is behind the magnificent gowns and slippers that the penniless Eleanora has been wearing to the balls? Only Princess Poppy can see through the magic that holds the rest of the kingdom in its spell. And having fought against one curse before, she's just the girl to take on another!

What I Liked:

Everything! This is a great sequel to Princess of the Midnight Ball . . .

What I Didn't Like:

Nothing!

My Rating: 5 stars

Princess of the Midnight Ball by Jessica Day George REVIEW

The Princesses of Westfalin Trilogy: Book One

Summary:

Princess Rose is the eldest of twelve sisters condemned to dance each night for the wicked King Under Stone in his palace deep within the earth. It is a curse that has haunted the girls since their birth - and only death will set them free.

Then Rose meets Galen, a young soldier-turned-gardener with an eye for adventure and a resolve that matches her own, and freedom suddenly begins to seem a little less impossible. To defeat the king and his dark court, they will need one invisibility cloak, a black wool chain knit with enchanted silver needles, and the most critical ingredient of all - true love.

What I Liked:

This book is an interesting retelling of the Twelve Dancing Princesses. It was hard to put down.

What I Didn't Like:

It was a little boring.

My Rating: 4 stars
