Princess of the Midnight Ball by Jessica Day George

Princess of the Midnight Ball by Jessica Day George - 280 pages

Galen, a soldier returned from war working in the royal gardens, tries to help the Princess Rose and her sisters from a mysterious curse.
This is a retelling of the Twelve Dancing Princesses.  The author has added quite a bit of back detail, fleshing out the fairy tale into a full novel.  I enjoyed this fairy tale retelling more than the author's Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow which was a retelling of East of the Sun, West of the Moon.  I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series about the younger princess Poppy.
