Commentary In Favor Of Books Princess of the Silver Woods (The Princesses of Westfalin Trilogy #3)
When Petunia, the youngest of King Gregor's twelve dancing daughters, is invited to visit an elderly friend in the neighboring country of Westfalin, she welcomes the change of scenery. But in order to reach Westfalin, Petunia must pass through a forest where strange two-legged wolves are rumored to exist. Wolves intent on redistributing the wealth of the noble citizens who have entered their territory. But the bandit-wolves prove more rakishly handsome than truly dangerous, and it's not until Petunia reaches her destination that she realizes the kindly grandmother she has been summoned to visit is really an enemy bent on restoring an age-old curse. The stories of Red Riding Hood and Robin Hood get a twist as Petunia and her many sisters take on bandits, grannies, and the new King Under Stone to end their family curse once and for all.Particularize Books Supposing Princess of the Silver Woods (The Princesses of Westfalin Trilogy #3)

GUYS, I THINK THAT JUST BY LOOKING A THE COVER, YOU GUYS WILL WANT TO READ THIS.A solid 4.5 ;)I mean, it has a princess in it. WHATS NOT TO LOVE??George spins a brilliant and suspenseful story from POVs of the twelve dancing sisters :)you guys........this is a book to kill forThis was a great book with lots of interesting characters and a great plot that pulls you in. This was a fairy tale retelling based on a combination of "The Twelve Dancing Princesses", "Little Red Riding Hood", & "Robin Hood". The main influence came from "The Twelve Dancing Princesses" with details from "Little Red Riding Hood", & "Robin Hood" thrown in along with the authors own original additions to make a very entertaining story. This was the third book in it's series however it is

Not as much as Princess of the Midnight Ball but more so than Princess of Glass.Red Riding Hood, Robin Hood, AND The Twelve Dancing Princesses?! EEP.Cover: They match! They match!! *does dance of joy* They are so pretty....Story: I was slightly confused at times. It was choppy and there were too many things being thrown at you at once.
Jessica Day George's middle grade/YA "Princess" series ends with this novel, which has just the slightest nod to "Little Red Riding Hood" (in a very offbeat sort of way), but really is more about continuing and wrapping up the story of the twelve dancing princesses from Princess of the Midnight Ball. Which was fine with me. I actually thought this was the strongest book in this series.This isn't a good stand-alone read; you need to read at least the first book, and preferably the second as well,
I love princess fairy tale stories they always leave me happy and enchanted. This story was a lot of fun to read and speculate on how it was all going to work out in the end. I loved how Mrs. George interweaves Little Red Riding Hood's story with that of Robin Hood. She takes the familiar tale and puts an original twist too it. I thought it was very creative and interesting.We find ourselves with Petunia who is the youngest of the King's twelve daughter's. She is on her way to visit an old
