House of Salt And Sorrows by Erin A. Craig

I don't want to spoil anyone so I won't give away the who in whodunnit or the ending...but I want to tell you enough to make sure you read this.

It is a beautifully spun tale that is a retelling of sorts of the 12 Dancing Princesses which I believe is a Grimm's Fairytale but it is so much more....the writing is beautiful and descriptive without being ridiculously wordy...it paints beautiful images and you can taste the briny salt air as you read about the world Annaleigh and her sister live and die in....The world here is one that has it's own Gods and Goddesses and that centers heavily on the story....but basically I think this is what it would look like if Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey and the Grimm's 12 Dancing Princesses had a love child born in the world as seen by Stephen King....And the ending, I loved it...I wish I could say something about it but I don't want to ruin it for you...But it was so very satisfying....



I loved my time in the House of Salt and Sorrows and my only sorrow is that it is over.
