3 Stars/5
Rose is the oldest of the 12 princesses of Westfalin and
they have been cursed to dance for the King Under Stone every night with his 12
sons. Galen is a young solider returning home from war and while on the way to
live with his only surviving relatives he helps an old woman, who in return
gives him a cloak and some wool with magical qualities. Will Galen and Rose’s
love for each other be able to find a way to stop the princesses going to the
midnight ball, before it is too late?
Princess of the Midnight Ball is a fairy tale retelling of
the Twelve Dancing Princesses and even though this book is a sweet and nice
read it is very predictable.
While there are 12 princesses each one comes across as
very different and unique, and they do not blend together. While I like both
Galen and Rose, I did not feel any chemistry between the two of them and as the
romance was a big part of this novel it did let the book down a bit.
I would recommend Princess of the Midnight Ball to those
who like fairy-tale retellings or very light fantasy.
