Publisher's summary

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 11 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.

Good Re-telling

I always liked fairy tales re-telling , and this was very enjoyable book , the narrator is excellent and the sound quality is good

Enchanting and poignant

A charming fairy tale retelling that will appeal best to young teen readers. Has some really eloquent moments dealing with losing a loved one and grieving as a family. Mandy Williams' narration is superb!

Loved this book!

This book was well written and I enjoyed every page. I loved the fact there was nothing in this book I would be embarrass for my grandchildren to read. And I could recommended this to my mom without worrying she would read something not nice. A clean read with a sweet story and shows the importantance of family bonds! I highly recommendation this book.

Enjoyable

A bit obvious at times and the s's are loud, but it's still very lovely.

Disney Like Fairytale

A very slow start and doesn't start to pick up until at least 1/3 of the way through. It was a little too Disney for me but would do better for a younger audience. This is an adaptation of the Twelve Dancing Princesses Fairytale. The relationship between the sisters and their strong bond was nice.It probably isn’t something I’ll ever reread, but I don’t feel like I wasted my time reading.

Narrator not that great

What didn’t you like about Mandy Williams’s performance?

She has a tendency to pause after every sentence. She's good at giving the main character voice inflection but not others. I will not listen to another book that she narrates

Was Entwined worth the listening time?

no

Emotional and Riveting

I really loved this story! It was well written and the narration was done well too! It almost reminded me of a black and white film, the way it was done (which I loved, and I feel reflects the time period very well). It made me laugh, it made me tear up, it made me roll my eyes, and it made me hope (: it was a beautiful story all around and I loved all the characters!

wonderful take on an old fairy tale

was a really good book. Some parts were slow and confusing , but overall a fun story to read.

Absolutely LOVE this book.

One of my favorite stories of all time has always been the 12 dancing princesses. This book is a wonderful retelling of the story! It is so creative and I can almost see it playing out in front of me as an animated movie. It is honestly something that should be a Disney movie! The Narrator did a great job reading as well.

FANTASTIC!!

this book is just so amazing! Heather Dixon has just the most fabulous way of writing, and the Narrator does such a splendid job. I would recommend this book to everyone!
