Princess of Glass by Jessica Day George

    What is your favorite type of book? If you like princesses, spells and handsome princes this is the book for you! There is plenty of all these things and more. But, if you haven't read the first book, Princess of the Midnight Ball, you may want to start with that.
    Princess Poppy of Westfalin was chosen to travel to travel to Breton. Once there she stays with her cousins. Upon arriving she makes it clear she doesn't dance, due to the unpleasant circumstances sworn to silence. Shortly after her arrival, the house acquires a new maid, who has renamed herself Ellen.
    All Ellen ever does is mess up her chores. She scorches the ironing, wrinkles the bed, and dirties the laundry. Everything just seems to go wrong. Losing job after job, she ends up waiting on Poppy.

    As Poppy settles in she finds that a foreign prince has come to stay, Prince Christian. He seems quite taken with her and her outright, and occasionally rude mannerism. She attends a few balls but, unfortunately she cannot be persuaded to dance. Unseen but, not unnoticed Ellen also sets her sights on Christian also. While Poppy unknowingly gains Christian's love, Ellen turns to a creature she sees as her fairy godmother.  When, in reality this creature is known as the Corley. A witch looking to replace her lost goddaughter.
    Ellen unknowingly falls right into her trap, becoming the mysterious "Lady Ella" for every party, and serving as Ellen the rest of the time. The Corley, using magic and molten glass, ensnares Prince Christian while mimicking the gowns worn by Poppy and her cousin. Also ensnaring all the possible suitors, including the man Poppy's cousin wishes to marry. Racing to find a cure, Poppy finds one that just might work...


    This book is perfect for all those who love fantasy worlds with princesses and castles. This book is the best version of the Twelve Dancing Princesses and also what comes after the story. I loved this book, just as I love all of Jessica Day George's books, I think she has outdone herself with this series. The book was very well written with all the differing points of view shown.
    This book was very entertaining and I would encourage lots of people to read it. The plot line was clear cut and pleasant to follow. When you do read this book, make sure to have read the first one, recently. Don't expect your knowledge of the Twelve Dancing Princesses to get you by. The third and final book is out, so don't miss the grand finale, it is sure to be amazing! This book gets and A for sure.
