House of Salt and Sorrows is an ode to all the Gothic tales that haunted us at night. I simply couldn't put down this tale of ghosts, mysteries and dancing girls once I started it. An hauntingly-beautiful retelling of The Twelve Dancing Princesses, House of Salt and Sorrows stole and shattered my heart.

Storytelling: A tale of eight haunted sisters and chilling phantoms, House of Salt and Sorrows kept me on the edge of my seat with all its twists and turns. There are no words to describe how I fell completely and unconditionally in love with the writing. Erin A. Craig's writing is eerie and spellbinding. The descriptions are enticing and yet terrifying.

Through words, the author crafted a spooky world where dreams and nightmares intertwine, creating a tale about sisterly love, soul-shattering loss, gloomy shadows and dark secrets - all the needed ingredients to write the perfect Gothic tale. The story is creepy with an imagery that would be applauded by Ann Radcliffe and Edgar Alan Poe.

Characters: Annaleigh Thaumas, the second oldest of now eight sisters, loves her family wholeheartedly. After, Eulalia, her oldest sister and Highmoor's heir, passes away, Annaleigh is convinced that she was murdered and didn't fall off a cliff accidentally, as everyone believes. Going against her family, who vehemently shuns her theories, and putting her sanity at risk, Anneleigh decides to unveil the dark secrets hidden in the many floors of Highmoor in an attempt to discover if her family is indeed cursed or if there's a murderer running free on the island. I quite enjoyed Annaleigh's inquisitive nature and that she never gave up, even when faced with obstacles. I also enjoyed how protective she was of her family - she would do anything to protect her sisters - and how much she loved them - against her beliefs, she ended her mourning period earlier so that her sisters could have beautiful colourful dresses and attend never-ending balls without feeling guilt.

Regarding the slow-burning romance, I had my doubts in the beginning (I was worried that there would be a love triangle), but, in the end, it was perfect. I don't want to say much because I will start gushing about the romance and I'll spoil it (that's why I'm not even mentioning the suitor's name in this review). In few words, he is charming and swoon-worthy.

World building: The atmospheric sea setting and Highmoor are the perfect background for this frightening Gothic tale, where Gods mingle with humans and curses prey on innocent girls. The world crafted by Craig was alluring. I loved the culture she built and all the myths and folk tales about Pontus, the Sea God, and the Salt people as well as all the little details about the five islands (Selkirk, Astera, Salten, Vasa and Hesperus) that were part of the Thaumases girls' world. The descriptions of the landscapes were stunning if yet there was something chilling about them. In the end, I just wanted to learn everything that I could about this world of humans and Gods, of shadows and curses.

House of Salt and Sorrow is one of those amazing books that you just can’t put down. A retelling of one(I have many) of my favorite Fairy Tales (Another one I would rewatch on Fairytale Theater) the Twelve Dancing Princesses. It takes the story and changes it up into something completely new and exciting.

The one thing I really really liked how about the story is how close the sisters are. They truly love and rely on each other. When we open the story we are at one of the twelve sisters funerals and as the story progresses you start to feel sad that you didn’t get to know the sisters that are missing. Due to the deaths though, the family is considered cursed and the girls find that they are feeling trapped. There is no one that is willing to even dance with them, let alone court them for fear that they will be cursed as well. So the girls decide to find their own way to have fun.

There is also some thriller/mystery parts of the book as well. Which leads me to do my best not to give the plot away because it is good. It keeps you wondering what exactly is going on and when all is revealed you kind of have that. Ahhh moment.

I love Annaleigh and her thirst for truth. She also kind, in the face of not wanting to be kind. Which is where we see a lot of her interactions with her father and her stepmother. It was interesting to see how much interaction we get from them. I also like how she isn’t so easily swayed and does not easily back down. She knows there is more to the story and she will find out. I also really enjoyed Cassius and her interactions with him.

So this book does have Gods. The most prominent in the girl's life is Pontus. He is the creator of the island and the island people. So with that they have a different culture than the mainland. One of the main things being the treatment of heirs and girls. Having twelve daughters was joyous for their father. He didn’t need a boy. There are other Gods and different parts of their world are considered those Gods/Godesses people which is all explained in the story.

I loved the writing style and the pacing. I felt both were perfect for this type of story. I could see how it might feel slower for others though.

I loved House of Salt and Sorrow and you should absolutely pick it up. Especially if you love retellings that use the framework but turn the story into something completely new.

This book took a little longer to grab me than I was expecting, but ultimately I ended up enjoying it. I'd definitely recommend to friends who enjoy YA authors like Leigh Bardugo, Holly Black, Margaret Rogerson, etc.

Rating: 5 stars

This will be a spoiler free reveiw. I also what to thank NetGalley for gifting me an early copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review.

I was approved for this book back in February, with the plan on reading it a little closer to its release date…I’m cutting it a little close, as it’s out tomorrow (as I’m writing this) but it’s out today ( as you’re reading this) So HAPPY BOOK BIRTHDAY TO HOUSE OF SALT AND SORROWS!

I absolutely loved this book – I expected to enjoy it as it’s a unique take on the 12 Dancing Princesses story – which is so underrepresented in YA it’s criminal. But what I didn’t expect was just how much I was going to love it and am kicking myself for not having read it sooner than right before its release. I knew the moment I finished the book that it would be a five-star read and I would be pushing it on everyone, so here – read the book! I do have one tiny complaint and maybe I just missed it in the book, but I’ll get to that shortly. It obviously doesn’t affect my rating and as for the plot as a whole, it doesn’t really affect how it all plays out in the end.

Okay, little side note, I’ve legit been sitting here trying to write this review for about three hours and I’m struggling. I think it’s because it’s all still so fresh and I legitimately just want to scream GO READ THE BOOK as well as just spoil the book to get my feelings out. Like, if you’re talking to a friend about a book – that way. I just want to gush about this book and how much I loved it, and I undoubtedly will in this review, but I also want to be kind of constructive and cohesive and not just a mess of emotions. I don’t normally write reviews so soon after finishing a book for this reason (albeit there are exceptions), but it’s my fault for waiting so long to read it. So, let’s try this again.

 This. Book.

I’d heard amazing things, and tons of people were gushing about it. A gothic/Victorian 12 Dancing Princesses retelling? Hell. Yes. Yes. Please.

It was amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed it and definitely didn’t see the twist at the end. I wasn’t sure who was behind the mystery that plays out in this story, but I did not see that person being the suspect. I liked being kind of blindsided at the end. I also really enjoyed the frenzied panic feeling that I felt towards the end. I was completely encompassed by Annaleigh – the main character. One of the eight surviving Thaumas Dozen, she’s willing to do anything to protect her sisters, willing to go to any lengths.

House of Salt and Sorrows follows the usually plot of a 12 Dancing Princesses story – usually the sisters love dancing, find a magical escape where they can dance the night away, shoes are usually worn out super-fast and then the magic and splendor turns sour and something darker comes in to play. But there’s a twist. The eight remaining sisters are “cursed”, and their lives are already somewhat dark. Annaleigh tries to make the best of horrible situations, and wants to properly honor her dead sisters, but with the arrival of a new stepmother (thank god she wasn’t the traditional evil stepmother type character – I’m kind of over those) Annaleigh doesn’t like the changes that are happening. She goes along for the sake of her remaining sisters, but privately she doesn’t stop mourning. There’s also this role of Gods that make appearances among the mortals and are very much keyish players in this book. I wasn’t really expecting that element to be so prevalent, but I ended up really liking it.

Enter Cassius and Fisher – the love interest and the crush.

Annaleigh and Fisher grew up together, so it’s kind of the boy next door relationship, and for a second, I was hoping something would happen between the two of them. I’m a sucker for friendship turned to romance. But then there was Cassius and I was a goner. Utterly swoon-worthy and charming, he caught Annaleigh’s eye, and he, hers. I was pretty much a goner for Cassius the moment he was on the page.

As for Annaleigh, I really enjoyed her as a character. She wasn’t perfect and she had her flaws, but her absolute love for those she held dear- it was endearing. She’s such a strong character and is pretty confident with who she is. Due to circumstances in the book, there are moments that cause her to question who she is, her sanity, but there’s always this underlying strength that shines through.

If you go into this book not expecting some darker themes and unsettling moments, you’ll be blindsided. I wouldn’t necessarily consider it horror, but there are some horror elements, and while I did feel the panic and frenzied feelings that Annaleigh felt, I was never scared to read ahead…I should clarify. I’m not a horror person, I don’t like being scared like that, I don’t usually touch any format of horror – whether movie or book – that deals with hauntings/ghosts. I don’t do that shit. Scares me too badly – like won’t sleep for a week, leaves lights on and watches happy Christmas movies until I feel safe. So, while this is a gothic horror YA story, I was able to read it and not be terrified. I think since there was a fantastical/magical element in the book I could equate it with fiction in my head.

Overall, if it’s not obvious I really loved this book and though the author did an amazing job with the world, the characters, the story. I found it so easy to imagine the world, the characters, the different settings. Everything was so vivid in my mind and I’ll definitely be buying whatever stories Erin publishes in the future. My finished copy is supposed to arrive on Thursday, and I cannot wait to put it on my shelf. I can definitely see me rereading House of Salt and Sorrows in the future and I may even make my book club read it in the future. If you’re looking for a new read and want something darker, grittier, with a hint of fantastical, loving relationships and a swoon-worthy love interest, make sure you pick this up tomorrow or sometime in the near future, because you do not want to miss this book!

*This review will be live on my blog (link provided below) on August 6, 2019 at 8AM EST.

The writing was well done, it was fast-paced and enjoyable. I think the author did a good job making this retelling different from the original fairytale! I enjoyed all the characters as well.

I really loved the worldbuilding in this novel! It was so vivid & well done! I also loved how tight-knit the family was and the various horror-esque elements in it! I love retellings & this book did not disappoint!

**3.5 Stars**

House of Salt and Sorrows was an atmospheric tale with a wonderfully blended feel of fairytale meeting the gothic. This story had beautiful imagery from its host of characters to its island setting, and even down to its deadly plot. Craig's transportive storytelling easily laid every necessary piece to crafting a creepy, chilling story.

I wasn't familiar with the original fairytale this story retold (The Twelve Dancing Princesses) prior to reading it, but it was a unique spin on an otherwise normal story. Each character—and there were many—felt as if they served a purpose and held their own position in a story where they could've easily blended in to each other. With all that it had going for it, it sadly fell victim to slow pacing for much of the middle of the story, and I found myself struggling a few times with continuing on. That being said, there was a surprising ending that—even though it didn't make up for the pacing—was executed nicely with twists I wasn't prepared for.

This was different than I expected- in a good way! I mean, to be fair, I never fully know what I am expecting because I rarely make sense, but that’s okay. Fine, I thought it was about mermaids or something, shhh. (It isn’t, by the by.) It is, however, about an upper-crust family consisting of a bunch of sisters (twelve in all but a whole bunch are dead) who live by the sea and are sure they are cursed. Which tbh, I feel, because how else do you explain all these deaths, goodness!

The sea setting is kind of awesome and atmospheric. To be fair, I could have used a little more worldbuilding, but that is because the worldbuilding we did get was interesting and I wanted to know more stuff! The family is incredibly tight knit, especially after all their losses. The sisters disagree on a lot of stuff, but they love each other so very fiercely. It is kind of how I imagine having sisters would work, really. You might get on each other’s nerves, but you love the heck out of one another. That’s how this group is, and obviously their terror of losing another one of them adds to both the tension and the love.

There’s a mystery at the core of the story. What exactly is happening to the sisters? Is there a curse? Can it be stopped? And hey, what’s with all the worn out dancing shoes, anyway? I’d do you a disservice by talking about any of it much more. You’ll get an ending that satisfies your answers to all those questions and more. Promise.

Bottom Line: Atmospheric and full of familial love, House of Salt and Sorrows lives up to its name and then some.

I liked it! It’s been a while since I’ve read a thriller/horror book, and this was a unique retelling.

House of Salt and Sorrows by Erin Craig seems to take place Long, Long Ago, in a Different Land. Set on an island, Annaleigh and her sisters are the daughters of a duke. The family is rumored to be cursed, as many of the family members have died, and brave suitors are few and far to find for the girls. Eager for fun and the prospect of love, the girls begin to attend balls they travel to using magical means. Like many fairy tales, there’s magic, balls that have the girls dancing late into the night, and beautiful dresses. Generally, I shy away from fairy tale retellings, but I didn’t realize that this story was one until about five seconds ago when I checked the Goodreads profile. The story is a little more obscure than the more “classic” tales- The Twelve Dancing Princesses. I actually had to do a Wikipedia refresher, it has been so long since I’ve heard the story.

Although this is a retelling, I remained undeterred. This story is just too good. Craig has added creepy elements and far more depth to the story, and even though the story started off on a grim foot, I didn’t expect it to get darker – I think I was led into a false sense of security by the all of the pretty parties and clothes. This isn’t your classic, sparkly Disney story – Grimm Fairy stories always have a macabre flavor to their tales, and Craig takes that and runs.

House of Salt and Sorrows is the debut novel of Erin A. Craig, but don’t let that reduce your expectations any. House of Salt and Sorrows is a deeply complex and emotional piece of work – one that’ll chill you to your bones.
House of Salt and Sorrows is a retelling – yet another in a huge list following this trend. But it stands out for me, turning itself into something wholly new and different. Here it follows the tale of the Twelve Dancing Princesses, though you might know it by another name (it goes by many).
This novel follows Annaleigh Thaumas, one of the Thaumas dozen. Well, one of the ones that are left, at least. If you believe the townsfolk, she and her sisters are cursed – though nobody quite knows why. Annaleigh is determined to find the cause of her sisters’ deaths, before she loses any more of the ones she loves. But what will she dig up in the process?
House of Salt and Sorrow blends young adult with fantasy, adding a dash of a thriller element for good measure. It’s a perfect balance of the three, and held my attention from start to finish.

Warnings:
Warnings: House of Salt and Sorrows lives up to its name. It has some heavier elements to the novel, including (but not limited to), mentions of suicide, infant death, graphic deaths, and body descriptions.
House of Salt and Sorrows was everything I had hoped it would be – and then so much more. I loved everything about this novel, even the parts that occasionally broke my heart. Annaleigh’s journey was beautifully written and so compelling. I simply couldn’t put the book down until I was finished.
With a title like House of Salt and Sorrows, you already know to expect it to be at least a little bit depressing. And this novel didn’t let me down on that account. But it was more than that as well. It was intricate and beautiful and mysterious, all in one.
The world in this novel was so detailed that it felt real. In fact, it almost felt historical, thanks to all of the details and the tone of the novel itself. It was the perfect setting for Annaleigh and her sisters. Speaking of, her sisters (while many) were all unique and clearly well thought out. They all fit together as a family unit – but more than that, they were all unique enough where they didn’t have to be considered ‘Annaleigh’s sister’ in order to fit into the plot.
I loved Annaleigh’s journey to find the truth of what happened to her sisters. Well, really it started with the focus on one sister. But over time, things changed. The truth was revealed or obfuscated at every twist and turn. It’s no wonder Anneleigh found herself so confused.
Erin A. Craig wove this mystery perfectly. It was not given away at the start, but she dropped enough hints and pieces along the way that when the final reveal was made, it made complete and total sense. I absolutely love that.
One thing I failed to mention earlier – there’s also a love story that occurs within these pages. It blended in well with the mystery and tension of the series. At times it gave relief, and at other times it added to the concern and stress of the tale. In short, it was perfect.
House of Salt and Sorrows was a brilliant read. One that made me sad to see it end. I’m truly looking forward to seeing what else Erin A. Craig comes out with. And I promise I’ll try to be patient waiting for news.

The gothic horror version of the twelve dancing princesses? Yes please. This book was creepy and beautiful. I loved how immersive the world building was. Craig did an incredible job of tying everything into the setting and religion. I loved all the sisters. Starting with a funeral was a risky choice, since we don't know the characters well enough to care, but Craig managed to pull it together and then later, the next funeral was super emotional. I'm so glad I got a chance to read this one. I really loved this book.

Thank you @prhinternational for the free e-book!

4*
Pros: Enchanting and heart-clenching retelling of The Twelve Dancing Princesses. As my first horror YA, it was definitely scary and gruesome, but also kept me at the edge of my seat. Detailed and immersive description and writing style. Lots of well-executed "jump scares", so to speak. Introduction of original and refreshing mythology. Important take on dealing with loss and grief.
.
Cons: Freaking insta-love. Lacking a deeper understanding and involvement of these deities.

TL;DR - The story of the 12 Dancing Princesses darker than you've ever heard it. Part mystery and part fairytale retelling, it comes together better than expected even if a little confusing at times.

Sometimes I request books on NetGalley and then when it's finally time to read and review, I've forgotten what the book was supposed to be about. I went into this book pretty blind--I didn't realize at first that it was a retelling until they were buying their "fairy shoes". With that being said, I love a good retelling and I've actually read quite a few retellings of the 12 Dancing Princesses. This one was different. A lot of the ones I've read stick to the "secret door in their room that leads to another place" outline. I've even read one or two where the princesses are forced to dance against their will. Craig's take on the story felt a lot more insidious. I think part of it was Camille's desperation and refusal to let go of this outlet she'd found and part of it was the spooky stuff that was going on with Verity.

Annaleigh was a likable character from the beginning. Her sisters varied in likability depending on what was going on, but they were all enjoyable. The only thing I wished was that we got to see the softer, kinder side of Camille. Annaleigh states that they grew up as best friends, but we never really see that side to their relationship. Camille is mostly just bratty and grumpy the whole book. Craig did a good job of making a lot of the secondary characters feel kind of grey. I wasn't sure who was supposed to be good and who was supposed to be bad until almost the very end. It seemed like maybe we were getting set up for a love triangle, but the author managed to turn that on its head as well. I wasn't super into Cassius as the love interest. I mean, he seemed perfect, but (as is often the case) we're not really given any concrete reasons as to why he likes Annaleigh. He seems like this perfect guy (too perfect) so what exactly does he want with or flawed main character? Authors! We need an explanation for this!

The plot was twisty and suspenseful. I genuinely didn't know what was going to happen next or what the conclusion was going to be until it was upon us. Without giving anything away, I will say that I'm a little disappointed by some character resolutions...I'll just leave it at that. I thought the religious system could have used a little more explanation. Maybe the author could have started each chapter with a myth or legend about the gods that these people believed in. It's just that almost nothing is said about their gods in the first 2/3 of the book, and then all of the sudden they start playing this huge role.

Overall, I would recommend this book for people who are looking for darker fairytale retellings. While it has a happy(ish) ending, I wouldn't say that it's feel good at all. It was definitely darker and creepier than I had anticipated--I was surprised by the touch of horror! I would definitely say this could be a good book to read in late September or in October to get ready for Halloween.

Note: I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Oh. Boy. Fans of YA fantasy and Gothic horror, get in this book immediately! I loved the added tales of gods & goddesses specific to these seaside-living people (people of the Salt), mixed with the Gothic elements of an old house, possible ghosts, magical doors, so many murdered sisters, and of course, love! I devoured this book in all the free time I had to read it. The story is just as sumptuous as the cover. I've never read anything quite like it.

I did receive this as an e-arc through Netgalley and Random House Children’s Delacorte Press in exchange for an honest review.

Well this is everything that I have been waiting for and have wanted in a book! 12 Dancing Princesses is one of my favorite fairy tales, and when I saw that House of Salt and Sorrows was a retelling of that famous fairytale, I got excited!

This tale follows Annaleigh as she tries to figure out what has been happening to her sisters. There was once 12 of them, but 4 have lost their lives and been returned to the sea. The town thinks that their family is cursed, and perhaps they are right. Annaleigh and her sisters begin attending glamourous balls where they dance all through the night. But soon Annaleigh begins seeing ghostly visions and finds that there is a mysterious stranger involved in the deaths of her sisters. Is everything connected, and who is behind the family curse?

This story did not disappoint. It was a retelling and mystery with paranormal events. Just my type of book! I loved seeing the connection to the original fairytale, and loved the twist that Erin. A. Craig brought to the story line. I loved Annaleigh and following her through unraveling the mystery of her sisters’ deaths. The plot had you wanting more with the beautiful writing, and kept you intrigued from start to finish.

I will say I had an idea of the end, just from reading quite a few mysteries, but the way that the story is laid out, new facts and events have you second guessing and changing your mind on how things are going to play out. This keeps you interested in the story as you read.
(And note, I was somewhat right. Didn’t factor in the paranormal that was attached though)

Overall I would highly recommend this book. If you are a fan of retellings, House of Salt and Sorrows will be a wonderful read. It has romance, mystery, character development, and mythological/paranormal elements. It will not disappoint and will leave you wanting more.

That moment when a book kills it with the horror-esque fantasy atmosphere but can't sell me on the protagonist. . .

House of Salt and Sorrows was definitely not what I expected for a re-telling of the 12 Dancing Princesses. I was warned prior to reading that it wasn't as much a fantasy as it was a creepy paranormal story that reminded me quite a bit of Crimson Peak in that regard. The mystery, the haunting vibes, unsolved deaths, and a romance flung in the middle? Definitely an excellent choice if you're fond of the gothic romance movie. 

Craig sold me on the whole world and general concept of the book, but I wasn't really on board with how everything played out. A lot of that came down to the protagonist, Annaleigh.

First, there are a lot of characters in this book, which I expected since it's a re-telling and there needed to be the 12 sisters at least, not counting other supporting characters. But Annaleigh blended in with the rest. She didn't have a strong enough voice to stand out against the other characters. Nor did I ever really connect with her as the point of view perspective. Any of the older sisters would have worked and it wouldn't have made a difference to the story.

Second, as I was already disconnected from Annaleigh, I couldn't buy into the romance subplot. There's a hint of a love triangle (which I'm glad didn't happen) but the rival love interest bit played out for too long. And the romance that did happen felt like major insta-lust to insta-love. I didn't believe it for a second and, to be perfectly honest, it ruined the story for me. I don't think it was necessary.

But I did really enjoy the writing style. There were times I was sucked into the mystery and needed to figure out what happened next. Granted, I also put the book down just as many times because I wasn't engaged with Annaleigh's character on her own. I preferred the scenes where the other characters were more involved.

The story moved at a decent pace and I didn't feel like there were too many lulls in the plot itself. While the twists weren't terribly unpredictable, I still enjoyed them as they happened, and I really liked the overall concept for a 12 Dancing Princesses re-telling.

But I hated the ending. 

If House of Salt and Sorrows had just ended with that last chapter, I would have been perfectly happy (or at least mostly happy). But then Craig tacked on a mushy ending that felt unnecessary and so. . . off from the rest of the book that it felt more like wish fulfillment than necessary to the story. I'd have rather seen some of the epilogue woven into the last chapter, if anything, and the rest cut off. But that's neither here nor there.

I liked this book well enough, and probably would have liked it even more without the romance subplot and epilogue. House of Salt and Sorrows is definitely a solid book and I look forward to more from this author in the future.

The House of Salt and Sorrows is an Eerie, beautifully written and atmospheric tale. These are the words I choose to define this lovely book. I loved this whimsical retelling of the Twelve Dancing Princesses. There are magic doorways, secrets to unveil, sisterly bonds and unique mythology. Telling more would be spoiler, but I'm impressed with this debut.
If you enjoy suspense and gothic romance you'll definitely love this.

thank you to netgalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review!!

4 stars

I really really liked this! I came into this with no expectations since I have not read the Brothers Grimm tale and I was pleasantly surprised.

The only reason why this wasn’t a five star read was because it was a predictable mystery. I don’t really mind that, but I would have liked something more surprising and different.

The writing was incredible and so very atmospheric! I think that was my favorite thing about this book besides Annaleigh and her sisters. I am a sucker for big families and sibling bonds!

The worldbuilding was incredible to me and it kept me invested! I love when authors write such complex mythology for the setting of their world.

What also irked me was the instalove like romance. While I did find Annaleigh and Cassius to be cute at times, I found a romance to be unecessary in this kind of story. I wished it her character was solely focused on her sisters rather than having her time focused on her sisters and a boy too.

This was a very refreshing read and I enjoyed almost everything about it! This was a nice debut for Erin A. Craig!

This was a great book! Dramatic and intriguing. I loved the characters and the plot. I greatly enjoyed the paranormal aspects of it. This very atmospheric. Definitely a book at the top of my favorite list.
