I was browsing through my bookshelf the other day when I spotted 'Entwined' by Heather Dixon, and it got me thinking about whether it's part of a series. From what I recall, 'Entwined' is actually a standalone novel, a retelling of the classic fairy tale 'The Twelve Dancing Princesses.' It's one of those books that wraps up its story beautifully in a single volume, no sequels needed.
That said, I kinda wish there was more because the world-building was so lush! The palace, the magic, the sisterly bonds—it all had this immersive quality that made me want to explore further. But sometimes, a standalone just hits right, leaving you satisfied yet wistful. If you loved 'Entwined,' maybe try 'Spinning Silver' by Naomi Novik for another fairy tale vibe with a similar depth.
