Holy Crap... this book... 
 I won't lie and say I read this type of book. While there was romance, there wasn't a lot of it. It took quite some time to get into the story and really start to figure things out. My opinion? It was well worth it. 
 Heather Dixon creates a completely new world in Entwined. Just the simple fact that this book is unlike any other I've ever read was enough to keep my interest. Then you add in supporting characters like The Keeper, Mr. Bramble, The King, and all eleven, yes eleven, of Azalea's sisters and it becomes a recipe for success. 
 I've seen quite a few 1-2 star reviews because of how the story was paced and like I earlier stated it does take quite some time to get intensely interesting. I actually don't think the description of the book does it justice at all. It paints The Keeper in a very harsh light and when you meet him, that isn't how he is. He's charming and he pulls you in. I was actually rooting for him for a while! (I know... what is wrong with me?) 
 The King, Sir, Papa.... What can I say about him? I absolutely hated him at the beginning but, wow, he quickly changed my hearts song! He was incredible. I loved his relationship with Azalea (once things began to mend)!! There were moments where I literally felt my heart flutter at this father-daughter relationship. It was beautiful. 
 Each girl had their very own personality and wit. I think Ms. Dixon was successfully able to keep these characters separate from each other. They were the same people who we met in the first chapters. 
 There wasn't a huge amount of character growth. I think Azalea did grow into a few things, such as being able to stand up to her father and even The Keeper at times. She isn't the one that defeated him once and for all in the end and I like the way this book ended. It wasn't a huge triumph for the good side, there was loss and fear and it was as real as a fiction fantasy book could be. 
 One more thing, this was funny. There were moments that had me laughing out loud. There were times I had tears in my eyes and times, again, I found myself laughing. 
 If you have time, give this beautiful story a try!
