I understand what you mean, I was more fascinated by Tatiana and Sorrow's story.

Loved this book! I must admit, I was not looking forward to reading it - it seemed like it would be too girly, especially based on the cover art and the description about the dancing princesses fairytale. But it was a wonderful surprise. I loved the relationship between Gogu and Jena - it was so sweet. Tatiana and Sorrow's story was more secondary for me. I absolutely hated Cezar. I also appreciated the life lessons sprinkled throughout the story - especially learning to trust yourself and your instincts. I will definitely be recommending this book to others.A great pick!!

Oh! That's really cool!
I absolutely loved this book! It had me hooked from the beginning. I knew something was up with Gogu from the start but that was kind of obvious anyway. The story itself was awesome. I didn't really have much feeling for Tati and Sorrow as much as I did for Jena and Costi/Gogu. Surprisingly I didn't hate Cezar. Of course I didn't like him either but he was a really well-developed character so I liked him in that respect. All in all, awesome!
I quite enjoyed this book! I liked the mashup of the 3+ fairy tales. I liked the unusual setting of Transylvania. Dracula starts there, but it's unusual, in my experience, for a novel that is not exlusively about vampires to be set there. DraculaWell, Night by Weisel, begins there, but it's memoir. Any other books set in Transylvania -- that aren't about vampires -- anyone can think of?
Jena's the POV character, so she's the character I felt closest to. I always like it characters who are rational and must deal with a world that is anything but. Her relaionship with Gogu/ Costi is very sweet. Night

I really liked this book and was very glad that I read it but it did take me awhile to get into it. Loved it though.

First off I keep wanting to mention this but didn't know where it would fit. I loved the description of the tower that was painted with stars on the ceiling! I can just imagine what that would look like!
