Meh

so-so

The 12 dancing princess meets princess combat, all for the not so desired chance to be engaged to the Beast. Every princess must compete and try to win or risk having her family members cursed to death. That summary makes this sound really exciting, but lackluster writing and unrealistic Romance make this book only so-so. More world building needed. Fun and fast read. 3/5 stars.
