SYNOPSIS:

Azalea is trapped. Just when she should feel that everything is before her . . . beautiful gowns, dashing suitors, balls filled with dancing . . . it's taken away. All of it.
The Keeper understands. He's trapped, too, held for centuries within the walls of the palace. And so he extends an invitation.
Every night, Azalea and her eleven sisters may step through the enchanted passage in their room to dance in his silver forest.
But there is a cost.
The Keeper likes to keep things.
Azalea may not realize how tangled she is in his web until it is too late.

REVIEW:

I have to start off by saying that Entwined by Heather Dixon was just not my cup of tea. It was a really hard book to get through and i am surprised i actually managed to finish it.

However the thing i loved about this book was the 12 princesses/sisters, Azalea, Bramble, Clover, Delphinium, Evening Primrose, Flora, Goldenrod, Hollyhock, Ivy, Jessamine, Kale, and Lily. They all had their different and quirky personalities which i loved and enjoyed to read.

The plot itself was so slow, it started to get good during the last 100 pages of the book which annoyed me because the book itself is nearly 500 pages long. Most parts were really boring and even predictable which was infuriating at times. Also this book is supposed to be a fairytale and i just didn’t feel the essence when i was reading it.

The main love interest involves Azalea and Mr. Bradford which i enjoyed because he seems like a genuinely good hearted guy. However we barely get to know him at all in the book which just drove me crazy because i wanted to see some more communication and affection between them.

Overall i was really disappointed by this read, i had high hopes for this book because i saw the trailer and it looked amazing. It was an okay read but not something that i will ever pick up again.
