Rapunzel retelling- surprise! This was an OK read. I appreciated the time put into showing her perspective on the outside world due to her isolation. I thought the explanation for her isolation was too simple. :/

I immensely enjoyed this retelling of rapunzel! The innocence and curiosity of Lisette made her really adorable :) The mystery behind Lisette's isolated life had kept me intrigued until the end of the story. Loved it!

I wasn't sure how a Rapunzel retelling would fit in a Regency setting, but this author nailed it! Such a sweet, intriguing story!

My least favorite of the series. As it is a retelling of Rapunzel, I was hard-pressed to keep my head wrapped around the OG-story and this one that becomes laid out to readers. It was mostly confusing if not frustrating to read and feel it gave off any idea to the story behind Rapunzel except for her long golden hair.
I'm not so sure what I read actually registered in my brain to comprehend. It wasn't that I didn't like either MC...Lisette and Gerry...I simply never felt connected to them, separate or together. And even when they were together, it was awkward, at best. I want to think that when each Author took on a fairy tale for this series they didn't go too heavy-handed with a literal telling the same old stories. So, maybe some kept one or two aspects and weaved their Regency fairy tale as best as possible. Some of these Authors nailed it and hit great ones out of the park because they were able to take a small aspect of the tales told and bring them to life in the Regency era. Somehow this one missed the mark entirely and I feel sad about it.
I wasn't engaged in their romance nor did I feel there was much of one. I am glad they did eventually get a HEA, so at least this tale ended happily as well.
