The Dancing Master by Julie Klassen


Another great book by Julie Klassen!  I've read a few of her books now and this is her newest one.

I loved how when the book starts out the main character, Julia, is protrayed as a spoiled rich girl.  However, as you read more and more you find out some much more about her.  Alec comes to town to start a dancing and fencing school, only to discover that dancing has been outlawed in this town for some time!  But why???  That question slowly gets answered throughout the story.  There is a character introduced early on that has an air of mystery about him.  Who is?  What is doing in the town?  Does he have anything to do with why dancing is outlawed?  

I enjoyed how Ms. Klassen introduced each of her characters and then slowly throughout the story let you know a little more about them.  The mystery going on through the story keeps you wanting to read for me and leaves you routing for some of the main characters!  I also enjoyed the romance in the story between not just one set of characters and the complications that there can be between two people who are of different social standings.  

I received this book free from Bethany House Publishers for purpose of this review, I was not required to write a positive review, the opinions I have expressed are my own.
