'Entwined' by Heather Dixon


Let's go!
'Entwined' is a book based on the fairytale 'The twelve dancing princesses'. It centres on a princess named Azalea and her eleven sisters. After their mother dies giving birth to the twelfth sister, the princesses go into mourning and are forced to comply with the rules of mourning. They, however, find a magical secret passage in their room and dance there every night as it leads to a beautiful pavilion.
This book is full of magic and is very enchanting. I would recommend this to readers who love magic and 12-14 year olds.
Here's the book description:


"Azalea is trapped. Just when she should feel that everything is before her . . . beautiful gowns, dashing suitors, balls filled with dancing . . . it's taken away. All of it.
The Keeper understands. He's trapped, too, held for centuries within the walls of the palace. And so he extends an invitation.
Every night, Azalea and her eleven sisters may step through the enchanted passage in their room to dance in his silver forest.

But there is a cost.

The Keeper likes to keep things.

Azalea may not realize how tangled she is in his web until it is too late."
