This book is part of the Grimm Academy Series of Stand Alone Fairy Tale Retellings and so far it is only the third I have read although I do intend to read them all. I enjoyed reading this Retelling of The Twelve Dancing Princesses and getting to know Audrey & Eugene in this story. It was fun that Audrey had a cousin from a previous book in this series that we got to interact with although I haven't read Pumpkins And Proms: A Fairy Tale Retelling Of Cinderella yet so I look forward to backtracking and reading Florian & Ella's story later. Three of Audrey's Twelve younger sister's also joined the story partway through the book and Karen also has a fairy tale connection by introducing elements of "The Red Shoes" which is a Fairy Tale by Hans Christian Andersen that also revolves around dancing that I was less familiar with although the two worked together here really well. In the end notes the author says she may write more about Karen later which should be interesting.
