Finally picking this up. The beginning feels like too much world info dumping all at once, which is something I don’t like in fantasy… but hanging in there.

I read book 1 with my 3 yr old, and she loved it so much she wanted more. I think it’s a bit above comprehension level, maybe better for 6-10 yr, but here we are. I gave her many choices and she wanted more Hamster Princess. 😆 Book 1 was a Sleeping Beauty retelling and this one appears to be a 12 Dancing Princesses retelling, which isn’t a story I’m as familiar with.

I love Ina more and more as I read this. She has really lived such an interesting life and I love the ways that she and Jeffrey support each others’ dreams. At the point that I’m at she is falling hard into being a workaholic, but I appreciate how much she loves what she does. She is such a strong feminist voice and frankly, I wasn’t expecting it from someone who loves cooking for her husband so much.

This world is very interesting and I’m becoming more intrigued with the story. It hasn’t fully hooked me though and I’m waiting for that aha moment where I love it.

Really enjoying this! She’s so impressive to me and I love hearing her tell her story (listening to the audio with her own narration). It’s inspiring me a bit too.

Okay, I’m already OBSESSED. So atmospheric and exactly what I want right now. Incredibly excited to see where the story goes from here.

I’ve actually been waiting years for this. 💜💜💜

Getting spoopy!
I actually love where I feel like this is going.

I’m already hooked. These books are so easy to jump into and the short chapters really help me keep turning pages.

I just started this and it already feels so spooky! Maybe even scary. 😅 Haven’t read “The Yellow Wallpaper”, so I’m curious how this story stands on its own.
