Midnight Masquerade

Stavos Voronin was not as blind-eyed as many nobles and royals. Evony’s physical gestures—even the simplest movement of her hands—revealed that she had not always been destitute. The same was true of the children—of their polished manners and the boy’s knowledge of horses and tendency to be bold and fearless of strangers.

Ah yes, Stavos enjoyed a good mystery. After all, interest in the inexplicable circumstances surrounding the royals of Abawyth was the very thing that had lured him to the kingdom—the enigma of Abawyth’s twelve sleepy princesses. And yet now—now his mind was all the more intrigued. Not only was the obscurity of what had caused the profound and baffling torpidity of Abawyth’s princesses laid out before him, but also he found his curiosity intensely piqued over the riddle surrounding the very lovely Evony and her siblings.

As Stavos strode through the village resting on the outskirts of Abawyth Castle, his mind reeled with possibilities. His musings were drawn back to why he had come to Abawyth at all—to solve the conundrum surrounding the twelve beautiful princesses of Abawyth kingdom—to solve the seemingly impenetrable crux and thereby win the hand of one of Abawyth’s princesses, as his father, King Letholdus of Ethiarien, had commanded.

My Review of Midnight Masquerade

Midnight Masquerade is a wonderful re-telling of The 12 Dancing Princesses. It is full of wonderful characters, and the story is so captivating. From the very beginning it grabbed my attention and kept it throughout. I really loved the castle town of Abawyth. I could see the action as it occurred from the first time Evony meets Stavos to the very end.
The characters in Midnight Masquerade are very well-developed and endearing. I love Miss Lovie and wish she was my neighbor. Evony is so self-sacrificing and strong (and headstrong). Stavos is the perfect hero. He’s got it all: looks, manners, loyalty, royal blood….what more could a girl want? Evony’s siblings are fun and sweet. The bad guys are bad and the good guys are good. There is a silver forest, a golden vineyard, and a diamond pathway. The perfect fairy tale.
It’s so easy to fall in love with this story. It’s castles and kingdoms, kings and queens, princes and princesses and evil overcome by goodness. If you love fairy tales, you will love Midnight Masquerade.
