review 1: I really liked this much better than the first. Her characters were much better developed and each different. I love the twists on the Cinderella story and the creativity. I even like that the romance was slow building and not really in your face or gaggy. The only thing that I didn't like was how abrupt the ending was. It reached the climax and then ended about 5 pages later kissing her love once she realized she was safe. It just ended. I kept looking for a missing page or chapter. I can't tell if she ran out of time, ideas, or just wanted to end it like that. Who knows. Despite this ending, I still thoroughly enjoyed it.
review 2: Overall, I liked this better than the first book in the series. There was something just slightly flat about "Princess of the Mi... morednight Ball", but this one was livelier.This time the base fairy tale is "Cinderella", but the author has put a rather dark twist on it, which I liked, because I've never liked the original tale; Cinders is so very wet. The Cinders character in this isn't very bright, but she isn't wet, at least. She also isn't the heroine; Poppy, one of the twelve dancing princesses from the earlier book, is, and she has to save her handsome prince from the machinations of Cinderella's fairy godmother.Once again, knitting plays a large part, and there are patterns at the end (I want to make the stole). The magic was quite clever - and in the godmother's case, very creepy. The characters were likeable, the story was fun, and I was going to give it four stars, but then I got to the end, and...well, the dénoument doesn't work for me. There's this big build-up, will they be able to save themselves, how will they get out of this, and then bang! It's over, they're all okay, and there's no visible reason for it. There was no fight, no struggle, just "oh look, we won, hooray". It was a distinct let-down. But right up until then I was loving it. less
