Book #10 "Entwined" by Heather Dixon: "She hated feeling helpless. It writhed in her stomach, choking her with thoughts of dancing the rest of her life in the arms of a gentleman who pushed her about and laughed when she stumbled, or worse, didn't even look at her at all" (114-115).
'Entwined' was pretty much your normal fairy tale story in the sense that I had most of it predicted from the 50th page. However, it did give me a bit of a twist with the aspect of there being so much magic involved in it. I guess you could say it reminded me a bit of Beauty and the Beast in that aspect of it.
The story focuses on Princess Azalea and her 11 sisters, from the start of the story their life's are gripped with misfortune with the death of the mother and then the appearance of their father. The girls are left alone in mourning, having to wear black, and not able to go outside or to enjoy their love of dance (something that the story focuses on quite a bit). However some of the old magic that was once in the palaces during the time of the old king still remains so the girls find a passageway that leads them to something and someone they never would have expected to find living below their palace.
The story, tho a bit predictable still had me hooked and kept me turning from page to page to see how Dixon was going to bring it all together in the way that I was just sure that it was going to end. It was also a very easy read, something I probably would have enjoyed even more at the age of 10 or 11. But it alright because let's be honest we all could use a few more fairy tales in our life.
So this was a super short summery (sorry I just don't have much to say about this one). On the upside I finished all my finals for the semester today so I have the whole summer to read as much as I possibly can :) Hopefully this also means I will pick up the reading speed just a bit.
Next book up is book #11 "Water for Elephants" by Sara Gruen. I haven't see the movie because I CAN.NOT.STAND.ROBERT.PATTINSON. I realize that is not a good reason to watch a movie but I can't help it maybe this book with help change my mind? Who knows! Anyways....
That's all for now,
