My heart ached for Rose, whom I adored from the moment we were introduced to her character. It was incredibly easy to relate to her character on many levels, as we were introduced to how sorrowful her life truly was. A brilliantly written and equally compelling coming of age story, that readers will be able to deeply resonate with. The Midnight Dress is so much more than that, full of intense emotion, an enthralling lush atmosphere, and characters that are unforgettable. It possesses such an enthralling magical allure, that readers will cling to the story being told.
One of the year's best written and compelling novels, in my opinion. The Midnight Dress will not disappoint or leave you hanging, as you delve into the mystery and the story of a story within a story, set in such an imaginative and gorgeous atmosphere, and written with beautiful prose that will leave you marveling at its rich beauty. If you're looking for a dark, coming of age story that is part fairytale and riddle with mystery and suspense, then look no further than The Midnight Dress. The story that Foxlee weaves together is not only magical and breathtaking, but enchanting and sorrowful as well. It is a story within a story that you are likely to forget anytime soon. Emotionally charge and amazing, you don't want to miss out on this novel.
