review 1: Ahh... Princess of the Silver Woods. I already read the book before this one, the prequel. Sequel of Princess of the Midnight Ball. I actually read the middle book first, and I wasn't lost at all. It was really nice. And I can so easily pop in now. I totally and absolutely applaud Jessica Day George. Good recap, and supplies enough information for readers to survive the plot of the current book they're reading.Let's break this down.Princess of the Silver Woods is definitely good. I actually like this one more than Princess of the Midnight Ball. Petunia, the youngest princess of the twelve princesses, is certainly the most awesome and baddest of them all. She could shoot a pistol without a flutter of her eyebrows. That girl is very well train. With weapons. I have to admire... more her. She has been to places where they should had frightened her to witless, but she still manages to go in. Then again, she was practically born in that situation. All thanks to her mother.A two hundred and fifty something paged book, Princess of the Silver Woods is most fun and fast-paced. I finish the book so quickly that I can't wait to read other books from Jessica Day George. Unfortunately, I can't do that (sorry, Ms. Day George). I have a huge stall in my to-reads list. I need to work on that, too. The man. The wolf. I don't know what he is other than an Earl of a land that no longer exists. Hmm... Not exactly. It still exist, but he no longer owns it. I think he is somewhat of an idiot compared to Galen. But... Well, he does have loyalty and other qualities presented in a dog. Great, now I'm practically cursing him for his idiocy. I mean, that he isn't as clever (then again, Harry Potter isn't either), but he does possess better traits. Like kindness. I really enjoy the retelling parts of this book. It is great, and Jessica Day George pulls it off well. It is similar to Red Riding Hood, but different enough that some readers (who probably never read Red Riding Hood) could imagine it as an original work.Overall, I think Princess of the Silver Woods is worth reading. Yes, it is a great book with wonderful characters and a fantasy world that can easily take you away to another place. I like it. I like it even better than The Princess of the Midnight Ball. But it isn't better than Jessica Day George's gorgeous retelling of East of the Sun, West of the Moon. Rating: Four out of Five-ofpaperandwords.blogspot.com
review 2: Petunia is on her way to meet a prince when she is kidnapped by a bandit. Then she finds that maybe the curse of dancing isn't behind her and her sisters.Well, we're back to an enormous cast: 12 sisters, a bunch of husbands and fiances and boyfriends and princes and evil people. There are way too many people to keep track of. (I tried to recall name the 12 sisters, but only came up with 9; considering they are all flowers, it shouldn't have been difficult) The main character in this book is youngest sister Petunia, who has the exact same personality as her sisters Rose and Poppy--oh so spunky!The sisters are pretty dim-witted here. Petunia is kidnapped and then falls in love with her kidnapper--Stockhom Syndrome! When everyone else realizes that "Pet" (stupid nicknames abound here) is in trouble, all 11 sisters traipse out into the dangerous lands to find her. Petunia then does something extremely stupid to get herself captured by the King Under Stone, and all 11 sisters come after her again. Did it not occur to anyone that the spells probably wouldn't work as well if all 12 sisters weren't together? Maybe some girls should stay home! They had no personality here, anyway.Once again, the ending was super-rushed and unsatisfying, and it reminded me of the first book (although, granted, it has been years since I read the first book). While I appreciated the return to the original fairy tale, there wasn't enough there to make it super-interesting. less
