Welcome to Litsy!

I love this book. It was my most reread during middle school and rereading it now, 17 years on, hasn't changed it all that much. I'll hopefully be meeting Juliet at a convention soon, so the revisit was comforting. I've not yet read any of her other work so aiming to read some more before then.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had a book of a collection of fairytales when I was younger, and one of my favorite stories in that book was “The Twelve Dancing Princesses” - it‘s the only place I had ever come across that story until now. This was a mesmerizing, horror-tinged recreation of that fairytale; I was fully transported into the pages. I‘ve fallen in love with Erin A. Craig‘s atmospheric storytelling!

First time reading this fairy tale. I didn‘t get to Grimms original tale but I read these two, the tagged one the better of the two as it felt more in the spirit of a Grimms tale. I enjoyed the illustrations more in the non tagged book but the tale was very simplistic and more cutesy.

It‘s so much fun reading the different versions! Each one is slightly different. All the illustrations have been beautiful. Soon I‘ll start the Crown of Twelve: A Twelve Dancing Princesses Novella which is the 1st of the Crowns of the Fae Trilogy ( or novella + duology)

This is a dark retelling of the 12 Dancing Sister. It takes place in a seaside village. In this story, the FMC is grieving the deaths of 4 of her sisters. She begins to have visions and starts believing their deaths were no accident.

They pulled him into the circle with them and danced slowly, so he could follow their steps. Even so, Azalea felt a warmth flicker within her. It was the best dance that had ever done.
