Food to Eat While Reading: Rose Orange Julius
I thought about Princess of the Midnight Ball when I wasn’t reading it and even dreamed about it once while taking a nap. The fact that the story crossed over into my daily life means the author was successful in getting her characters into my head. This re-telling of the twelve dancing princesses is a quick and enjoyable read.
What I liked:
The writing felt effortless and flowed nicely. I soon forgot all about the author behind the scenes and immersed myself in Roses’ story.
The tale evolved so naturally, and with such creativity that I can hardly believe it was a fairy re-telling.
Jessica Day George handled the many sisters very well, giving most of them unique personalities and letting others fade into the background appropriately.
I loved Gaven, a humble, wool-knitting, gardener who had the courage to face powerful magic for his princess. more...
