Wildwood Dancing
I like this fantasy a lot. It has romance, adventure, strong female characters and a satisfying ending. It also has a message, but you're not hit over the head with it. I don't know if it's the best but it's good.
I did like this: nicely done fantasy based on the 12 dancing princesses, interesting Transylvanian setting, and good, albeit rather youngish love stories. I still felt somewhat dissatisfied with the character development and also found that it was one of those books that was easy to put down, hard to recommit to. Maybe.
Very well done fantasy/fairy tale. I was drawn in from the beginning. I thought it was thought provoking - especially about weighing your decisions & their consequences. YAY for me.

Is that a YAY or a MAYBE, Deb?
I give it a yay.
I enjoyed this one, it was a nice and quick read. I agree with Katie about the lack of character development but it was still a good story.
This was a fun, sweet fantasy, but probably not an award winner. NAY.
