This was a really good Twelve Dancing Princesses Retelling and I enjoyed getting to know to some extent all 12 of the cursed princesses. This book has connections with both Amphibians and Admiration: A Frog Prince Retelling & The Caring and the Cursed but can be read without having read them although it is a bit more fun if you have. I loved both Princess Gardenia & Prince Dario of Cortes and enjoyed seeing how their story came together as well as getting to know some of the other princes that came for the competition as well as getting to know Rowan (Dario's sister-in-law) better. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series Promises and Poison: A Gender Swapped Snow White Retelling and seeing which characters are in it.

A Frigid Hope: Princess Bianca & Percival
Amphibians and Admiration: Princess Hazel & Roderick
The Caring and the Cursed: Prince Alexander of Cortes & Eirwen
Dances and Danger: Princess Gardenia & Prince Dario of Cortes
