    I really enjoyed this version of Rapunzel. It's quite different from the original tale, but I think the changes actually really enhance the story! It's quite a quick read as it pulls you in, so you just can't stop reading. So I can't wait to read the rest in the series.

    Thank you to Orion for sending me a copy to read and review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
