Rapunzel is my Disney Princess. Tangled is my jam, I love everything and everyone and maaaaan oh man. I had to disassociate. I had to physically stop reading at some points just so I could make sure my brain knew not to connect these two together because this book… Ugh. This book was not it. 

It started off as everything I wanted it to be. Man. Those chapters of Wren finding Rapunzel and going back to her time and time again. My heart couldn't handle it. I was so happy reading those first like… 50 pages. 

And then everything took a turn. Not a turn that I liked. I LIKED the idea that there could be politics involved, but it was just so poorly done. And it was so cringey. Beyond cringey. There was zero development in any relationship that wasn't between Rapunzel and Wren. And the development in their relationship was a bloody mess. A MESS. 

I didn’t like the characters. I didn’t connect with the characters. The story was shallow, and not well developed. And I got super lost early on because Wren was being trained to be a knight, and then all of a sudden his dad was being murdered by John even though they were besties… and like… did I miss the part where they weren’t besties anymore? 

I’m reading the second book because it’s short, and I can get to the conclusion of this story quickly.
