A Dance with Magic

"Love is not the absence of friendship, merely an additional, powerful layer. "

Ok I absolutely loved this story  I have never read a retelling of The Twelve Dancing Princesses  before. The only one I know is the Barbie one and it's one of my favourites. The magic is this world is mesmerising. We get an insight on Rebecca during her tyrannical brother's reign as well as on her Royal guard's past. I love the forbidden love and friends to lovers troupe of this book. I also love the , "haven't you see  how she looks at you? " cliche.

This is a retelling of The Twelve Dancing Princesses. I haven't read any book based on this fairytale before and so was excited.
I liked how the main characters Rebecca and Zahir are shown individually. The main focus here is magic and not romance. Though I felt that everything happened too fast, the end was too easy and the romantic relationship between Rebecca and Zahir wasn't needed as no in depth connection was explained, I still enjoyed the fantasy elements of this book. The flashbacks intrigued me along with the difference in take on male with male relationships in Hijan and Kelvia. 
This is quick, enjoyable read.
