It's always fascinating to see how writers re-tell a traditional fairy tale, adding new and interesting variations on the story. Some are better than others, and this one happens to be exceptional. The writing is compelling and keeps you guessing all the way through, even though you think you know the ending, having read the fairy tale countless times.
It's the story of the twelve cursed princesses who must descend into a twilight realm each night to dance madly until dawn. But in this telling, the heroine, Reveka, is a sharp-witted and irreverent apprentice herbalist, not some knight in shining armor come to rescue the princesses.
