Twelve by Andrea Blythe
Although this books describes itself as being twelve poems, they are more like short stories.
Inspired by the fairytale of the Twelve Dancing Princesses, this short book looks at the tale from a different persepctive. Rather than following the "hero", here we look at the sisters.
How would they feel to have their nights of dancing ended?
Each sister has her own dedicated story - they turn to alchemy, study, adventure, revenge - each sister follows her own path.
The tales also retained teh tone and feeling of fairytales and fables.
I really enjoyed this and would recommend for anyone who enjoys Kirsty Logan or Jen Campbell.
I received this as an eBook from Netgalley on exchange for an honest review.
