Had we somehow angered the gods? Had a darkness branded itself on our family, taking us out one by one? Annaleigh, House of Salt and Sorrows Characters & Romance Once there were twelve of us: the Thaumas Dozen ….

There are some really good twists, and the romance is so sweet!.Is Annaleigh actually going mad? Are her dead sisters haunting her? It is really difficult to ascertain what is real and what is only an illusion. Craig’s writing successfully sucks the reader inside Annaleigh’s mind.I enjoyed this murder mystery aspect even though the novel is “fantasy.” Annaleigh is in a race against time to figure out who is murdering her sisters.House of Salt and Sorrows is certainly atmospheric, and I loved the setting and all of the mythology.In some ways, her novel is very different from the original. However, Craig does a wonderful job making this novel her own creation.I truly appreciated the elements that remained similar to the original if you read the Grimm Brothers’ version first, you’ll recognize some of the original aspects mixed in.Erin Craig’s tale is certainly dark, but so is the original fairy tale. This is a retelling of “The Twelve Dancing Princesses,” written by the Grimm Brothers.I adore fairy tale retellings, so this was right up my alley!

Craig’s House of Salt and Sorrows last night, and I really enjoyed it overall.

I hope everyone is having a relaxing weekend! I just finished reading Erin A. ‘We are born of the Salt, we live by the Salt, and to the Salt we return.’ High Mariner, House of Salt and Sorrows Initial Thoughts
