The Night Dance

The Night Dance


Suzanne Weyn



Review By: Sasha


Do you remeber the awsome reviews of titles such as Spirited and Sunlight and Shadow? Well, all of those books come from the retold fairy tales books. I suppose it's like a prompt or something but they are by different authors, all the same publishing company, same book format, the previous books are advertized on the back of this book and well anyway, they are all great fairy tales...retold.

This particular book is a sort of King Arthur tale. A man marries a mysterious lady, has twelve daughters in less than 6 years (Twins, you see) and then she dissapears. (OOH) So the girls grow up confined in their castle because the dad doesnt want them to dissapear. Then one girl escapes! and see sees a vision of a man in battle. He is the last living knight of the round table and sent on a quest. He has to return Excalibur to the lady of the lake.

Really it is a really good book. I was worried sometimes that it would fall too much into well...the way other books go, i cant really explain what im talking about. This book is very well written. I read it in one day. I lost sleep because i wanted to finish the book. I kept saying to my self, i'll just read to the end of this chapter and then the book was almost over and so i looked at the clock and say oh well, i can just finish it now. :) Read it. Now. Go. Shoo!
