House of Salt and Sorrow is a retelling of the Twelve Dancing Princess. In an island kingdom princess are dying and Annaleigh, once a middle child, is determined to know what happened to her four older sisters. The tale combines fantastical elements within a murder mystery.

The overall story was a decent read. I enjoyed it, but did not fall in love with, the story. Some of the twists were a bit much and near the end I felt more disconnected with the tale. The story is a dark tale and I appreciate that the tone kept a consistency throughout.
