I hate books that have tons of fluff. <br /><br />I do like the idea of the father-daughter relationship developing, but I don't know if it intrigues me enough to actually pick the book up. Great review! <br /><br />Rebecca @ The Library Canary Rebecca @ Unbound Pageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14609128581185079525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4122122426051336537.post-75696420704447013612013-09-17T06:03:05.600-05:002013-09-17T06:03:05.600-05:00Blah.

And now it sounds like, if I were to actually *read* the book, I'd be bored for a majority of it and/or have to DNF the story. Not enough plot is one of my pet peeves, and it's especially surprising that this book, as a stand-alone, would fall prey to that trap. I like the promise of creepy and sweet in the mix of fairy tales, but I think that I would have a similar experience, especially with regard to dancing and all the descriptions surrounding it.<br /><br />"why must the mother always die in order for the father to step up and be an involved parent?" <-- I'm surprised that this actually happened, though. Most of the parental deaths I read about in YA actually seem to involve the alive parent moping over the dead one. And as you said, at least the father-daughter relationship was developed and one of the nicer things that you got to read about!Christina Reads YAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937783114868207494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4122122426051336537.post-81366653779082471262013-09-17T00:34:21.797-05:002013-09-17T00:34:21.797-05:00I've always loved the cover of this book.

I like how you finished the review with your recommendation/lack of of one. <br /><br /><a href="http://whyanot.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">Kate @ whYAnot</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15967951213655918441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4122122426051336537.post-16899793190756262932013-09-17T00:20:55.973-05:002013-09-17T00:20:55.973-05:00I haven't heard of this book before but the su...I haven't heard of this book before but the summary sounds very interesting. I loved how you started off this review! (This is completely unrelated but it reminded me of that mind test where there is a gif of a dancer pirouetting and you guess which way she's spinning). I used to be a dancer but I wouldn't like reading about it the majority of the book. It would get boring. And if you weren't ever a dancer, it would be SUPER boring. I read a book about a country musician a couple of months ago and it was very technical and musically inclined. I don't play the guitar nor enjoy country music so it seemed like these sections of the book dragged on. It lost my attention. I finished the book but didn't necessarily enjoy it. That would probably happen with this book too, unfortunately. So I completely sympathize! Great review, though :)<br /><br />Christine @ <a href="http://thebookishdaydreamer.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">The Bookish Daydreamer</a>Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00693881573322261240noreply@blogger.com
