        Scaling The Stormy Tower is a cozy,and romantic retelling of Rapunzel that is perfect for readers who love: 
                  
                 1.Happliy Ever Afters 
                  2.Food especially Chocolate cake.
                  3.He falls first
                  4.Weather inspired magic 
                   5.FMC who is not a damsel in distress 
                   6.Cinnamon roll MMC 
                    7.Small town by the sea
                    8.Found family 
                     9.Playful banter

                  The author Mrs.Lynning's beautiful storytelling truly shines in every story she writes,and her attention to detail is truly magical. 

           Cam,and Jacob the two main characters of the story are a cute couple,and I loved the playful banter moments between them.Jacob's willingness to wait for Cam to understand her feelings,and the way he always spoils her is wonderful to see. 

           Cam's character growth throughout the story is well-executed,and seeing her go from being a young woman who was unsure of herself to becoming a strong,and confident individual who no longer fears the future was amazing. 

           I loved all the yummy food mentioned throughout the story especially the Chocolate cake,and I would absolutely love to have the recipes. Mrs Lynning's writing,and love for baking are both exemplary. 
       
            Scaling The Stormy tower is the final book in the Once Upon An Enchament series a collection of standalone fairytale retellings by author Jen Lynning,and can be read individually,but I highly recommend reading Forging Golden Slippers first before reading this book because the mmc Jacob is first introduced.  

              My review for the previous book Forging Golden Slippers by Jen Lynning can also be found on StoryGraph,and I hope readers help to share,and love these stories just as much as I do.

         The release date for Scaling The Stormy tower is September 5th 2024.

           Thank you Mrs.Lynning for the wonderful opportunity to help share this lovely book with other readers.I am grateful to have been a part of your arc team.
