" This was ok. The best part of the book is really the beautiful cover, unfortunately. I couldn't ever really tell what the plot was, other than the fact that it reminded me of the Barbie's 12 Dancing Princesses movie (because it was a retelling of this story, the back cover says). But there was dark magic with undefinable rules in it and lots of subplots that really never amounted to a plot plot. Even my daughter, who loved this book, couldn't tell me what it was really about. So there you go. My 13-year-old loved it so you can take either of our words for it. "
