Even Eleanora is sympathetic, once you learn her story. Prince Christian and Marianne are good friends, who the reader would like to know. Poppy is a capable heroine, brave and adventurous, and quite protective of her friends. Readers will recognize elements of fairy tales woven into the tapestry of this wonderful story.

But where are her gorgeous gowns coming from? Who is behind her transformation, and what danger does that mean for Christian, Poppy, and Marianne? Poppy is determined to find out. Only Poppy is able to see through the magic surrounding her and recognize Eleanora, Marianne’s maid. A series of balls leads to the appearance of a mysterious and beautiful stranger–Lady Ella. That’s good, because their friendship is soon put to the test. When Prince Christian of Danelaw is also sent to Breton, he becomes fast friends with Poppy, her cousin Marianne and Marianne’s beau Dickon.

Breton doesn’t seem so bad, even though Poppy seems to be earning a reputation for being “odd” for refusing to dance, even at parties, preferring to play cards and gamble with the gentlemen instead. Poppy is sent to the far-off kingdom of Breton, where she finds herself the guest of distant cousin Lady Margaret and her family. In this story, young royals all over the continent (including Poppy and nine of her sisters) have been sent to other kingdoms in an arrangement to foster relations between the royal families. (And since “what” included a curse that kept all twelve royal sisters dancing all night long in a secret underground palace with some demonic princes, which they couldn’t talk about to anyone, Poppy’s practicality and unflappablity were truly put to the test.) In that story, Poppy was the practical sister, the one who was able to keep her head no matter what. Princess Poppy is one of twelve royal sisters, first featured in Princess of the Midnight Ball. (which now seems very long ago, not just a couple weeks.) Beautiful cover (again!) wonderful story.
